The Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress and the Former Governor of Borno state, Alhaji Kashim Shettima has used some disrespectful words on the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi. He impaired his middle name which is Gregory and called him ‘Gringori.’ He said a Gringori doesn’t have anything to offer. Peter Obi has not responded to the slur from Kashim Shettima and he has moved on with his campaigns to different states. The perpetual silence from Obi even after the comments from Governor Soludo and Shettima.
Labour Party chieftain and a member of the Obi campaign council, Chris Nwokobia has revealed in an Arise Tv interview why Obi has not responded to the words of his accusers. He said, ”Let me say importantly and clearly that Peter Obi stands head and shoulder above others in terms of candor and civility. And in terms of understanding and facing the issues.
The reason our principal hasn’t given any response to that statement that proceed from the APC Vice Presidential candidate is because of the anatomy of our politics which is about the message. We are only talking about politics of issues and that’s why Peter Obi is telling Obidients across the country to remain civil.”
