2027: Tinubu Mocks Atiku, Obi, Says Opposition Relies on Social Media Campaigns

Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, made the remarks on Wednesday during the APC presidential campaign rally in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

He accused opposition candidates of relying largely on social media to promote their political ambitions, while his administration was taking its achievements to Nigerians across the country.

Shettima, who delivered the President’s message, took a swipe at Atiku, questioning his political influence in Adamawa State.

He argued that Atiku had been unable to secure the support of former governors from his state, describing the situation as evidence that the former vice president had little to offer Nigerians.

The Vice President also criticised Obi, saying the former Anambra governor had no significant achievements in his record to justify his ambition to lead the country.

Shettima maintained that the opposition figures could not match Tinubu in the 2027 contest, insisting that the ruling party had a stronger record to present to voters.

The Vice President also commended APC leaders in Ondo State for putting their differences aside and working together in the interest of the party.

He said the unity displayed at the rally was an indication that the party was prepared for the forthcoming election.

Shettima further expressed confidence in the APC’s electoral prospects in the state, noting that Ondo had approximately 2.1 million registered voters.

He said the party expected to secure at least 1.2 million votes from the state in the 2027 general election.

The rally also featured the presentation of party flags to APC candidates in Ondo State ahead of the elections.
