President Bola Tinubu has criticised opposition parties, saying they lack what it takes to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
Tinubu made the statement on Wednesday through Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented him at an APC campaign rally in Akure, Ondo State.
He said while opposition politicians were using social media to campaign, his administration had been travelling across the country to tell Nigerians about its achievements.
At the rally, Shettima also criticised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.
He questioned Atiku’s political influence in Adamawa State, noting that even former governors of the state were not united behind him. He argued that this raised questions about Atiku’s ability to offer effective leadership at the national level.
Shettima also questioned Obi’s record as a former governor, claiming that he had little to show for his time in office.
The Vice President later presented party flags to APC candidates in Ondo State. He praised party leaders for putting their differences aside and working together.
Shettima also challenged the party to secure at least 1.2 million votes from Ondo State in the 2027 general elections, noting that the state has 2.1 million registered voters.
