Shettima: South-East Has Leaders Better Qualified Than Peter Obi
Vice President Kashim Shettima says Nigeria’s presidency cannot be won by coercion. He argues leadership must rest on inclusivity, trust and broad acceptance. He endorses a president from the South-East to heal civil war wounds. He cites Rochas Okorocha’s national reach and David Umahi’s infrastructure record as examples of qualified contenders from the region. Shettima also highlights the importance of grassroots alliances, invoking the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua’s coalition-building strategy. Observers note his remarks may hint at early positioning for the 2027 elections.
