Shettima Critiques Peter Obi's 2027 Election Chances

Kashim Shettima, the Vice-President of Nigeria, stated that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has diminished his prospects for the 2027 general elections. Shettima accused Obi of using lies and misleading statistics, asserting that Obi had recently traveled abroad and returned quietly, which he suggested contributed to Obi losing goodwill among Nigerian voters.

These comments were made during an All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally in Uyo, where President Bola Tinubu was also present to inaugurate several projects under Governor Umo Eno's administration. Among the projects inaugurated was a newly constructed terminal building at Victor Attah International Airport.

President Tinubu described his visit as a homecoming and praised Governor Eno for his commitment to the state's development, noting that the airport's international flight status was a result of Eno's efforts.
