Vice President Kashim Shettima launched a sharp criticism of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi on Saturday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, during an All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally.
Shettima said Obi “was governor of Anambra State for eight years; his performance was mediocre,” adding that the state “did not change” during his tenure.
The vice‑president also targeted Obi’s stint as a bank chairman, claiming the former governor’s record there was “equally mediocre” and that “it was after his exit that the bank started working stronger.”
Shettima warned voters not to be swayed by “sweet talk,” urging Nigerians to “check the record of every candidate before they vote.”
Peter Obi is the NDC’s nominee for the upcoming presidential election, while Shettima, serving as vice president under President Bola Tinubu, is campaigning for the ruling APC.
You were mediocre as governor for 8 years, bank chairman.
