The 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi has slammed the Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly, Abdulkareem Lawan.
The speaker had demanded a new aircraft for Vice President Kashim Shettima following the recent incident in the United States, US.
Reacting, Obi said such a demand is insensitive to the plight of Nigerians suffering hardship and hunger in the country.
Posting on X, Obi wrote: “I just read a disturbing comment in the media space attributed to one of the supposed political leaders in the country that the life of the Vice President is in danger because of the faults recorded in his official aircraft.
“The leader went further to urge the Federal Government to purchase a new aircraft for the Vice President.
“In making such a remark now, the speaker is insensitive and obviously unconcerned about the prevailing economic situation in the country.
