Shettima Challenges Atiku and Obi on Economic Policies
On October 15, Vice President Kashim Shettima addressed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi regarding their economic strategies. Speaking at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council at the State House Banquet Hall in Abuja, Shettima argued that Nigeria's size and complexities necessitate homegrown solutions rather than foreign economic models.
He criticized Obi for relying on international comparisons, stating that a country with over 250 million people cannot be governed by borrowed statistics. Shettima also remarked on Atiku's aspirations for the presidency, asserting that character, discipline, and a realistic understanding of national priorities are essential for effective leadership.
He urged APC members to avoid personal attacks during the campaigns, advocating for a focus on policies and mutual respect among political opponents.
