Rabiu Kwankwaso, the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has defended his party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, after Vice President Kashim Shettima called him a "master of bogus statistics" and "incoherent economic prescriber." Kwankwaso made the comments during an appearance on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, on Thursday.
He stated that mistakes or slips of the tongue are inevitable for human beings. In response to Shettima's remark, Kwankwaso revealed that he regularly listens to Obi and verifies the statistics he presents, adding that most of the figures are accurate. He expressed his happiness that Obi, a presidential candidate, is well-versed in statistics not only in Nigeria but also globally in Europe and Asia, and believes this is a positive indicator.
