Senator Kassim Shettima has described the vice president of Nigeria, Yemi Osibanjo as a kind man, but that quality isn’t enough to qualify him as a presidential candidate in 2023.
The senator had said this on Friday night while speaking in an interview with Channels TV.
Shettima believes that the vice president stands no chance to defeat Abubakar Atiku of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) at the polls.
The senator, who is representing Borno Central Senatorial District, says that Osibanjo is a nice man but that doesn’t make one a good leader.
He said;
“Nobody has ever doubted the competence of Professor Osinbajo, but we believe that in terms of intellectual capacity, and someone who is capable of winning the election, is Bola Tinubu.
“We need someone who can match and even overshadow the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Osinbajo is a good and nice man but nice men do not make good leaders, nice men should be selling ice cream”.
