The Nigerian Presidency has lambasted the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, for criticising plans by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to use N15.5 billion to complete the official residence of Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Reacting to comments credited to Obi on Tuesday, the Presidency said the former Abambra State Governor was attempting to whip up public sentiments against the President Bola Tinubu administration over the budgetary provision for the completion of the VP’s residence.
Obi had, in a post on X, described as shocking and disheartening plans by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to earmark the N15.5 billion for the renovation of the VP”s official residence.
