2027: You are cheap wine importer, not economic guru – Shettima slams Peter Obi

Vice President Kashim Shettima has again slammed the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, saying importing cheap South African wines does not make anybody a guru in economics.

Shettima made this statement on Wednesday at the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign rally in Ondo State.

The Vice President said Obi has been going around the country presenting himself as an economics expert, but his record does not show it.

“The ability to import cheap South African wines doesn’t make one a guru in economics,” Shettima said.

According to him, Obi’s performance as governor of Anambra State for eight years was mediocre, and Nigerians should not be deceived by sweet talk and statistics.

“Peter Obi’s performance as governor of Anambra State was at best mediocre,” Shettima added.

Shettima also mocked Obi for calling Lagos his home, saying that alone shows Obi is enjoying the quality of leadership provided by President Tinubu in Lagos.

He said Obi left Anambra after eight years as governor and chose to settle in Lagos, the state Tinubu built.

Shettima said Tinubu turned Lagos from a struggling state into the economic capital of Nigeria and Africa, with good roads, strong revenue and massive investments.

He said Nigerians should judge candidates by their records, not by their speeches on television and social media.
