Vice President Kashim Shettima has stirred fresh political debate after declaring that Nigeria’s presidency cannot be attained through coercion, while also suggesting that there are more qualified leaders from the South-East than Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Speaking on the country’s political climate, Shettima stressed the importance of inclusivity and consensus-building in a diverse nation like Nigeria. According to him, leadership must be built on trust and broad national acceptance rather than pressure tactics.

“In a multi-ethnic, multi-religious politics like ours, nobody can bulldoze his way to power through deceit, intimidation, threats or blackmail,” he said. “You get to power by building bridges and reaching out.”

The Vice President, however, expressed support for the emergence of a president from the South-East, describing it as a potential step toward healing longstanding historical divisions dating back to the civil war.

“I am for the emergence of a Nigerian president of South-Eastern extraction to heal the wounds of the civil war,” Shettima noted, though he criticized what he described as certain confrontational approaches adopted by some political actors from the region.

His remarks took a more direct turn when he asserted that the South-East has individuals he considers more qualified for the presidency than Obi, referring to the former Anambra State governor in pointed terms.

Shettima highlighted former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha as one such figure, praising his national reach and political experience across different regions of the country. He also commended former Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi for his infrastructural record, describing him as one of the most effective leaders to have emerged from the South-East.

Drawing from Nigeria’s political history, the Vice President emphasized the role of grassroots mobilization and alliances in achieving electoral success. He referenced the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua’s strategy of building nationwide support networks, underscoring that political victories are often determined by coalition-building rather than regional popularity.

Shettima’s comments are expected to generate reactions across the political spectrum, particularly among supporters of Peter Obi, who remains a prominent opposition figure with strong backing among young voters and urban populations.

Political observers say the statement may also signal early positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, as conversations around power rotation and regional representation continue to shape Nigeria’s political discourse.

As debates intensify, Shettima’s remarks have once again brought to the fore the complex dynamics of leadership, regional equity, and political strategy in Africa’s most populous nation.

That's the unfortunate part

SHITIMA THE CHIEF TERRORIST IN TINUBU'S GOVERNMENT....


Useless government with useless vp

Better qualified like Orji Uzor Kalu and Dave Umahi, right?. Rubbish talk.

They are damn too scared of Peter Obi. He makes them lose sleep. It is amazing!

Look VP Shettima, you have only one vote. Give your vote to whoever you want but allow Nigerians decide on Peter Obi political aspiration.

Is that why he has nothing positive to campaign with after 4 years in office, except rice?

Obi we know
#tmg
#tinubumustgo

Peter Obi is a picture of a "New Order" in Nigeria political space.
They're scared of handling power to him because, the Judiciary, INEC system will be straighten up and become independent to discharge their responsibilities.
Policies that will set the country on the path of national consciousness and Economic revival is what they are afraid of.
They're afraid of Peter Obi because, they will not be able to weaponize poverty against the people during election anymore.
Organic love for Peter Obi is Alien to them.

Borno too had better qualified leaders.

So are you happy that the judiciary is in Tulumbu pocket or you’re a pathological liar as well ?

Lol.

In 2015, was buhari the best person to lead nigeria?

You claim to recognise the multi religious nature of nigeria, yet, you guys ran on a muslim-muslim ticket...

Shettima are you and Tinubu the best from your region? There are far better people than you and Tinubu from your respective region.

By the way, what is this obsession with Peter Obi by APC. All the propaganda machinery is set towards Peter Obi.

Why all these fears about Peter Obi?

This was the same fears about Dr Alex Oti when PDP were dealing with Abians with their propaganda and today we are not regretting and the whole world has seen the turn around.

You are in power and you are afraid of a man who is not even close to power to the extent that you pay propagandists to attack him daily. 🤣🤣🤣🤣



🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even in Anambra State, there are many potential presidential candidates than P. Obi. I don't know why he is the only one being forced failingly on us. He will never be allowed to be the President in this our Nigeria. Thank God that he is even partyless currently, 8 months to the Presidential election

No ASU strike but now Nigeria professors are sleeping in their offices because they can't afford transportation high charges. Most of them now go on hunger strike.

No queue in filling stations because petroleum consumption as reduced, many people now park their cars at home, now Nigerians trek more.
When Nigeria minimum wage was 30k+ better pass now that it is 77k, imagine fuel 1270 compare to 170. We keep hearing big figures but the masses are suffering, can you count numbers of corporal beggers in your timeline ? Except you're still being feed. See the way people celebrate leaving their own country to another man's land, if the country is good will people be leaving? Make we leave party, tribalism, religion affiliates and use our common sense.

Leaders like Orji Kalu wey una hold for blockos or which one .
What is holding them from coming out now it is the turn of the south.
For now Peter Obi is the viable one we can see Abi na una go still choose candidate for the southeast.

Shettima old glory, we have completely forgotten we have a vice president, he has been reduced to household furniture.


No relevance, no impact, just taking salary and fat allowances, he's the worst vice president Nigeria ever had.

For someone who called osinbajo an ice cream seller, you would have thought he would make a better vp, as leats we saw osibanjo engaging Nigerians

helinues:

Name 3 of such politicians

He never mentioned choosing a candidate for the SE

tunde1200:

He's not a do or die politician. He believes in the rule of law. And if the rule of law is being manipulated, there's nothing he can do about it. His ambition is not Worth the blood of innocent Nigerians.
He will not grab it nor snatch it and neither will he run with what is not his.
This is a Typical Omoluabi behavior that I grew up to know and has being thought by our parents.
The Omoluabi values is being displayed by Peter Obi, the reason for this organic followership.

Try and be an Omoluabi yourself, you can never tell what the universe holds in reward for your values.

Cnming from a terrorist party. No wonder bokoharam and co are doing promo.

Definition of better leaders in his books are probably druglords like Timlubu and exconvicts like O.U.K.

All these talks no fit bill basket. APC, you and your boss are going back to wherever you came from next year.

Let the people decide who they want to lead them.

Why the prejudice and fear towards the man Peter Obi for Christ sake?....

There are other contestants yet their dick rises at the thought and mention of Peter Obi's name.......What's it with Peter Obi that these vultures are scared of?

i will take professor soludo or Alex Otti over this obi , any day any time.

i was listening to a live program where obi was asked to refute Soludo's claim by mentioning his achievement as governor. Obi responded by saying that governance is not always by providing infrastructures. He went further to say that he only instilled moral discipline on the people of anambra during his term as a governor.

lawani:

the same man who was caught on telephone speaking ill of the southeast people cannot mean well for the southeast he should carry his fake love and move forward.
