  "account": "Vice President Kashim Shettima has criticized the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for his educational background, while urging opposition leaders to refrain from insulting President Bola Tinubu during the 2027 election campaign. Speaking at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja, Shettima warned that the APC would respond to anyone who insulted Tinubu. He also cautioned Nigerians against listening to what he termed \"voodoo economists\", stating that they lack a grasp of a modern economy's complexities. Shettima said, \"Anyone with elementary knowledge of arithmetic can be a tax collector, but the ability to collect taxes does not transform one into an economic guru.\" He emphasized that people should avoid listening to voodoo economists and those who fail to understand the dynamics of a modern economy. Despite acknowledging Atiku Abubakar's respect, Shettima stated, \"But for the rest of the duration of this campaign, we will discuss ideas, we will discuss policies, but we will treat all our opponents with respect and dignity. They are not our enemies, they are our brothers, they are our countrymen, they are our leaders.\" He concluded by warning, \"Anyone who is not willing to respect others forfeits the right to be respected.\"",
