Shettima Reveals Why Peter Obi Cannot Be President

The former Borno governor, who spoke during an interview on Channels TV on Friday, maintained that the LP candidate has no structure and experience to rule the country if he emerges president.

According to him, the former Anambra governor can only be president in Igbo land because has no leadership ideology or experience to handle a big nation like Nigeria.

He said, “The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has no political base and structure to win the next coming election in 2023. As far as i am concerned he’s politically structureless with little or no experience to lead this country.

“Nigeria requires a technocrat and a sound Administrator who will continue from where President Muhammadu Buhari stopped not someone who will come to take us back in the era of PDP. Nigerians don’t want that.

“Our Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the right person needed for this position in a time like this. He’s a unifier, an Administrator, a technocrat name it. That is why Nigerians both old and young are rallying round him to ensure that he wins the forth coming election.

“Presidential position is not for the unprepared neither is it an all comers affairs. Peter Obi can only become a President in Igboland but definitely not in Nigeria.

“Nigeria is too big for him to handle. He has no leadership ideology nor experiences like President Muhammadu and our incoming President in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the African Action Party (AAC), Omoyele Sowore claims that some former Nigerian leaders are working for the emergence of Peter Obi as president in 2023.
