Vice-President Kashim Shettima criticises Peter Obi, telling Nigerians that Obi has “nothing to offer” beyond citing statistics. The comments are reported in connection with political events and are framed as a dismissal of Obi’s approach and credibility as a political alternative.
Across outlets, Shettima’s remarks focus on the idea that Obi’s comparisons and supporting figures are not sufficient. Vanguard adds a specific line of criticism, saying Shettima challenges Obi’s use of comparisons between Nigeria and Bangladesh, arguing that policies cannot simply be transferred between countries without accounting for differences. Other outlets present the overall thrust of the criticism—Shettima’s view that Obi relies mainly on statistics—without expanding on the comparative-policy example.
