The vice presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Kasim Shettima, has apparently taken a swipe at the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
This was during the annual conference of the Nigerian Bar Association which was held on Monday in Lagos.
Addressing the audience, Shettima said his principal, the APC presidential candidate and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, made Lagos home for all.
He said Tinubu’s strides n Lagos made Obi see the place as home instead of Awka in Anambra State which he governed for eight years.
“My brother sitted here call Lagos his home and not Awka, it is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that made Lagos a home for all,” he said.
He continued, “Nigerians have the capability to see through the worn-out rhetoric and sophistry of pretentious politicians.”
“Nigerians should follow the man who knows the road. From day one, we will hit the ground running. We’ll promptly address the issue of the economy, ecology, and security.
“And we have the antecedents. I built some of the best schools in Nigeria. Go to Borno and see wonders; you will never believe that it is a state in a state of war.
“So, we are going to replicate our achievements in Lagos, in Borno and some of the frontline states so that our nation will be a better place.
“The fundamental issue is pure leadership,” he said.
