NDC Criticizes Shettima's Attacks on Peter Obi Ahead of 2027

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has condemned Vice President Kashim Shettima for his continuous attacks on its presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Theo Agada, the NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, issued a statement asserting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is feeling threatened by the increasing momentum of Obi and the NDC as the 2027 elections approach.

Agada criticized the APC for lacking substance in its campaign, claiming it resorts to attacking Obi and the opposition instead of presenting viable solutions to Nigerians. He emphasized that Shettima, who has been a politician throughout his career, lacks the credibility to criticize Obi, who has successfully built businesses and employed millions.

This statement follows Shettima's remarks at an APC campaign rally in Ondo State, where he described Obi's tenure as Anambra State Governor as mediocre, cautioning Nigerians against being misled by Obi's rhetoric and statistics.
