Kashim Shettima Criticizes Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi in Ondo

Vice-President Kashim Shettima challenged the leadership credentials of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar during an All Progressives Congress presidential campaign rally in Akure, Ondo State. Shettima argued that Abubakar is unfit to unite Nigeria because he has failed to build political consensus in his home state of Adamawa, noting a lack of support from five current and former governors.

During the rally, Shettima also targeted National Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi. He accused Obi of clout chasing following Obi's reception of the U-17 women's football team at the Abuja airport and questioned Obi's standing among the political leadership of Anambra State.

In contrast, Shettima asserted that President Bola Tinubu has secured broad consensus and widespread support in Ondo State. He cited the backing of several influential local figures as evidence of the strength of Tinubu's re-election bid.
