Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) has chastised the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, for his comments on the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Naija News, Obaseki previously warned Nigerians against electing Tinubu to power because doing so could lead to the country’s disintegration.
In response to Obaseki’s statement, Fani-Kayode described it as “nonsense and puerile.”
According to the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council’s (PCC) New Media Director, Obaseki stated that Nigeria can only remain if the PDP’s Atiku Abubakar wins.
He contended that, while Obaseki is free to support Atiku, attributing divine status to the former vice president is unjust.
FFK went on to call the former Vice President “the most destructive force that the Fourth Republic has faced.”
He argued that not only did Atiku try to destroy President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration but also the chances of the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan during 2015 election “by his infamous deceit and betrayal”.
He said;
Today, he has done the same to PDP by dividing the party, violating its constitution with impunity, imposing himself as its presidential candidate, insisting on keeping a divisive man who calls himself the National Chairman.
He devoured the first with his gluttony, hate and greed for power and he left the second intact hoping to devour it at a later date.
If he ever becomes President he will destroy Nigeria itself in precisely the same way that he has destroyed the PDP.
FFK stated that Atiku would suck the life out of Nigeria if given a chance to rule and leave the country a shadow of its former self.
He described the PDP standard bearer as a destroyer who is surrounded by a group of shady businessmen and hungry touts.
