Vice-President Kashim Shettima says Peter Obi has damaged his 2027 presidential prospects by spreading what he calls false claims and “bogus statistics.” Across the reports, Shettima frames Obi’s remarks as having reduced the goodwill Obi previously enjoyed among Nigerians.
The coverage places Shettima’s comments in a specific setting: he speaks in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, during or alongside President Bola Tinubu’s campaign activity. One outlet also links the moment to Tinubu commissioning Akwa Ibom projects, including mention of an airport terminal, providing local context for where the remarks are made.
While all outlets highlight Shettima’s criticisms of Obi and the claim that Obi effectively “ran himself out” of the race, they differ mainly in emphasis—some foreground the political attack, while others add details about the campaign backdrop and commissioned projects.
