Vice-President Kashim Shettima has alleged that Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has run himself out of the 2027 race with lies and bogus statistics.
Speaking at the campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, on Friday, the nation’s number two man said Nigerians no longer get excited when Obi speaks.
“I hear my friend Peter Obi is back in the country after sneaking out to have a rest. He might have avoided Lagos and Abuja on arrival.”
“And clearly this gentle man has run himself out of this race with his lies and bogus statistics. We warned him that he’ll get to that.
“Peter Obi has clearly messed up and squandered away his goodwill; he no longer excites when he speaks these days. He draws suspicions, too bad for him.”
Earlier, President Bola Tinubu inaugurated some projects executed by Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom.
Among the projects is a newly constructed terminal building at the the Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo.
Tinubu who described his visit to Akwa Ibom as homecoming, added, “I recall my days in Mobile when I contributed to the development of Eket, I did not know that one day I will become Nigeria’s President.”
Tinubu described Gov. Umo Eno as a great and visionary leader with frank intentions to enthrone lasting legacies in Akwa Ibom.
Tinubu said that Eno’s commitment to Akwa Ibom’s development made the Federal Government to grant the Victor Attah International Airport an international flight status.
