Shettima Critiques Atiku at APC Campaign Council Launch
On October 14, Vice-President Kashim Shettima delivered a pointed critique of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar during the inauguration of the APC presidential campaign council at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Shettima accused Atiku of owing a debt to President Bola Tinubu, referencing the 2007 presidential election cycle.
He argued that Tinubu's decisions had protected Nigeria from severe economic conditions. Shettima compared Atiku's repeated presidential aspirations unfavorably to Abraham Lincoln and Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga.
He also criticized Atiku's economic proposals, labeling them unrealistic, and described Peter Obi, the Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, as "the master of bogus statistics." The event also saw Osun State Governor Adeleke express his support for Tinubu's bid for a second term, emphasizing the need for continuity in addressing the country's challenges.
