The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress<\/a><\/strong> (APC), Kashim Shettima, has described the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party<\/a><\/strong> (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, as a political tourist, who will be permanently retired to the United Arab Emirates after the 2023 election.<\/p>\n

Mr Shettima spoke at the presentation of the manifesto of the APC to the business community and organised private sector in Lagos on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He took a swipe at the former vice president and questioned his academic qualification. He said the certificate Mr Atiku got from the Kano School of Hygiene only qualifies him to be \u201cwole wole\u201d a Yoruba word for sanitation inspection officer.<\/p>\n

Mr Shettima also criticised Mr Atiku on his long history of participating in presidential elections. He stated that the PDP candidate is not Abraham Lincoln, a former president of the United States, but a Raila Odinga, who has a reputation of losing several presidential elections in Kenya.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect Atiku Abubakar but leadership goes beyond \u2018unstatesman-like\u2019 ranting. Someone who cannot unite his own party, I wonder how he is going to unite this nation. The world is talking of artificial intelligence, of big data, of nanotechnology. The training that the elder statesman got from Kano School of Hygiene is that of a wole wole.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd believe me, the ability to sell bottle water does not make one an expert on the economy. Atiku Abubakar is not Abraham Lincoln, he is more of a Raila Odinga. Next year, we are going to permanently retire the political tourist back to Dubai,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Atiku has participated in several presidential elections either at the level of primary or the main election.<\/p>\n

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi also got some jabs in Mr Shettima\u2019s speech as he described the former Anambra State governor as a peddler of dubious statistics.<\/p>\n

He added that Mr Obi is basking in mediocre performance as a governor of Anambra State.<\/p>\n

\n\"TEXEM<\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOf all the candidates in this race, who has the experience? Who has the track record? And of course, who has the intellect to catapult this nation to a higher pedestal.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeadership goes beyond glamourising poverty, we don\u2019t glamourise poverty, we fight poverty. I won\u2019t tell you that I have two pairs of shoes\u2014I have a single watch. Leadership goes beyond dubious statistics or basking in a mediocre performance as the governor of Anambra State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
