Peter Obi's Camp Rebukes Shettima's 'Diminished' Comment

The Peter Obi Media Office (POMR) condemned Vice President Kashim Shettima for his remarks labeling Peter Obi as a "diminished politician" during the unveiling of the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) campaign office in Abuja. Shettima stated, “Honestly, I am not afraid of the PDP.

I am not afraid of a diminished Peter Obi.” POMR spokesman Idris Zeker urged South-East political leaders to learn from Shettima's call for respect towards Atiku Abubakar, contrasting it with his disparagement of Obi. The statement criticized Shettima for demanding respect for one opposition leader while dismissing another.

It asserted that Obi's governance in Anambra State outperformed Shettima's record in Borno State, citing Obi's recognition for fiscal discipline and investments in education and healthcare. POMR called for political discourse focused on records and ideas rather than personal attacks, emphasizing that the Nigerian populace would ultimately determine Obi's political relevance.
