“Your excellencies, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, the ability to import cheap South African wines doesn’t make one a guru in economics,” he said.

Shettima described Obi’s performance as Anambra governor as mediocre, questioning his achievements and political influence.

He also claimed Obi lacked support from former governors Chris Ngige and Willie Obiano, alongside incumbent Governor Chukwuma Soludo.

The vice-president challenged opposition candidates to highlight their accomplishments during Nigeria’s democratic era.

He further argued that Obi’s decision to reside in Lagos reflected the benefits of President Bola Tinubu’s leadership.

Shettima also claimed that influential political stakeholders in Ondo, including former Governor Olusegun Mimiko, supported Tinubu’s re-election bid.
