Peter Obi, running mate to Atiku Abubakar, presiedential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says the period
Nigeria is in calls for sober reflection and not for dancing “Shaku
Shaku.”
“Shaku Shaku” is a popular dance step common among entertainers
and young Nigerians.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo had said he is learning the dance
step ahead of the 2019 general election.
Speaking with journalists at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport in Abuja
upon his arrival from Dubai on Monday, Obi said the Atiku team is
spending its time thinking of how to create jobs and not learning
how to dance “Shaku Shaku.”
“I have not had the opportunity of reading his comments as I
haven’t seen the dailies. I know Vice-President Osibanjo is a
gentleman and may not have made such a comment,” Obi said.
“However, while I am not against people dancing or learning how
to dance ‘Shaku Shaku’, as I believe it is one of those things that
is keeping our people going on in this very difficult times, I
believe that the crossroads that we have found ourselves in as a
nation requires sober reflection.
“For me in particular, this period calls for sober reflection
not dancing or learning how to dance as there are many challenges
facing our nation at the moment. Not the least being recently
having our country named the world headquarters of extreme poverty
with over eighty seven million people. Worse still millions more
are losing their jobs, with four million by the third quarter of
this year alone.
“Millions of Nigerians go to bed hungry not knowing where the
meal for the next day will come from, hundreds of thousands risk
death by crossing the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea to wherever
they can make a living.
“These and other challenges are indicative of the dire straits
facing us as a nation today. And these are what we on the Atiku
team are spending our time with the best minds on how to start
creating jobs and putting food on people’s table. We must get
Nigeria to start working again for the good of everyone.”
