Why APC, VP Shettima Are Attacking Peter Obi – NDC

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized Vice President Kashim Shettima for always attacking its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theo Agada, said in a statement on Wednesday that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is threatened by the momentum the party and Obi are gaining from Nigerians ahead of the 2027 elections.

Agada said the APC is clueless and has nothing to tell Nigerians, hence always resorting to attacking Obi and the opposition during its campaign rallies.

He added that Shettima, who has always been a politician, has no grounds to talk down on Obi, who built businesses and gainfully employed millions of Nigerians.

“The constant attacks on our presidential candidate at their rallies say everything you need to know about 2027. We are in this election to win, and the ruinous, clueless APC is clearly threatened by the momentum we are gaining.

Shettima, whose only business is politics, is talking down on Peter Obi, a man who has built businesses and employed millions of Nigerians,” the NDC chieftain wrote.

FocalPoint reports that the statement comes in response to Shettima’s latest criticism of Obi over his performance as Anambra State Governor.

The Vice President took a swipe at Peter Obi on Wednesday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Ondo State.

According to Shettima, Peter Obi’s eight years as governor of Anambra State were mediocre, and Nigerians should not be deceived by sweet talk and statistics.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Overrides Tinubu’s Pardon, Affirms Maryam Sanda Death Sentence

It was recalled that President Tinubu had previously reduced Sanda’s death sentence to 12 years’ imprisonment on “compassionate grounds” in October 2025. However, in a four-to-one split decision, the Apex Court dismissed the appeal filed by Sanda, ruling that the prosecution had proved the case of culpable homicide beyond a reasonable doubt. Justice Moore Adumein, who delivered the lead judgment, held that the Court of Appeal, Abuja, was correct in upholding the initial death sentence handed down by the Federal Capital Territory High Court in 2020. Crucially, Justice Adumein addressed the legal conundrum created by the Presidential pardon, stating: “ It was wrong for the Executive to seek to exercise its power of pardon over a case of culpable ...
