SHETTIMA BLASTS ATIKU , OBI OVER FUEL SUBSIDY AND TINUBU RECORD

What happened: Vice President Kashim Shettima criticised Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi at a presidential campaign event in Ikwerre, Rivers State, saying calls to reinstate Nigeria's fuel subsidy reflect poor economic advice, and defended President Bola Tinubu's record. Why it matters: Shettima said Tinubu inherited an economy close to collapse and took difficult decisions rather than postponing reforms, and alleged opposition figures were trying to discredit the president instead of recognising his achievements.
