SHETTIMA ACCUSES PETER OBI OF CLOUT CHASING OVER FLAMINGOS AIRPORT ROW
Vice President Kashim Shettima has accused NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi of “clout chasing” after Obi said NFF officials prevented him from greeting Nigeria’s victorious Flamingos at Abuja airport. The National Sports Commission disputes Obi’s account, saying the request was unscheduled and came through people wearing campaign materials while officials were moving the players from the airport. Shettima said Obi had gone “out of protocol” and used the episode to argue that presidential ambition requires grassroots and stakeholder support.
