The APC Presidential running mate Senator Kashim Shettima gave the audience at Eko Hotel and Suites on Tuesday some mind blowing political takeaways as he dismissed both Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, who are in the presidential race with Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Shettima said both Obi of the Labour Party and Atiku of the PDP have nothing to offer Nigerians.
To Obi, Shettima said:
“Leadership goes beyond glamourizing poverty. We won’t glamorize poverty, we tackle poverty. I won’t tell you I have two pairs of shoes or I have a single wristwatch. Leadership goes beyond spewing dubious statistics or showcasing a mediocre performance as the governor of Anambra State.
Shettima also sent a caustic note to Atiku:
“I respect Atiku Abubakar, but leadership goes beyond high-scale antics. A man who can’t unite his party, I wonder how he can unite a country.
“We are talking about artificial intelligence or big data or nanotechnology, but the training that an elder statesman got from Kano School of Hygiene was that of wole wole. The ability to sell bottled water doesn’t make one an expert on the economy.
“My parting shot is that Atiku Abubakar is not Abraham Lincoln; he is Ralia Odinga and come May next year, we are going to permanently retire the political tourists to Dubai.”
