Vice President Kashim Shettima has criticized Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the opposition, stating that his political momentum has faded due to what he described as inaccurate claims and exaggerated statistics.

Speaking during a political event in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, Shettima claimed that Obi had recently traveled abroad for a break and returned to the country. He argued that these actions, combined with his campaign strategies, have caused him to lose the significant public support and enthusiasm he previously enjoyed.

According to the Vice President, the ruling party had previously cautioned Obi about his approach to campaign data, suggesting that his reliance on controversial figures and statistics would ultimately undermine his candidacy and diminish his standing among voters.
