'Go and read' - Pat Utomi blasts Segun Showunmi in heated exchange

Political economist Professor Pat Utomi engaged in a heated exchange with President Bola Tinubu's campaigner Segun Showunmi during a political debate ahead of the 2027 general elections. Utomi expressed his displeasure at participating in a conversation with Showunmi, asserting that Showunmi should instead read. The clash unfolded amidst a period of intense debates leading up to the elections, with Utomi advocating for policy discussions and accountability from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Showunmi, who met with President Tinubu and is part of the APC's 2027 campaign council, has been defending his political shift, claiming it was not due to a job offer. Meanwhile, Utomi has criticized Nigerians who defend the APC government, suggesting they are appeasing those causing hardship for citizens. The political dispute is encapsulated in Utomi's statement, "Go and read - Pat Utomi blasts Segun Showunmi in heated exchange."
