• Naijanews • Politics
Kashim Shettima, the Vice President of Nigeria, addressed the supporters of Peter Obi, referred to as "Obidients," asserting that bullying is not a viable strategy for attaining the presidency. In his remarks, Shettima highlighted the importance of connecting with people across various regions to foster strong relationships, rather than resorting to pressure and threats. He expressed support for the idea of a presidency from the South East, explaining that this move could help address longstanding concerns related to the Nigerian Civil War. However, he cautioned that the approach taken to support the region must be constructive to ensure success. Shettima pointed out that individuals from the South East should be prepared for national leadership, referencing Peter Obi and Rochas Okorocha as notable figures with significant influence across different parts of the country. He also mentioned David Umahi, noting his visible developmental achievements during his tenure as governor of Ebonyi State.
