Kwankwaso Defends Obi Against Shettima's Criticism
Rabiu Kwankwaso, the vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), responded to Vice President Kashim Shettima's comments regarding Peter Obi, the party's presidential candidate. Shettima had labeled Obi as “the master of bogus statistics and incoherent economic prescriptions” during the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja.
He criticized Obi for relying on foreign economic models without addressing Nigeria's unique challenges. In an interview on Channels Television's 'Politics Today', Kwankwaso defended Obi, stating that his figures are generally correct as he cross-checks them.
Kwankwaso acknowledged that while mistakes can occur, Obi is knowledgeable about statistics both in Nigeria and globally. He expressed disagreement with Shettima's assessment, emphasizing that Obi's understanding of statistics is commendable.
