Former Minister of Aviation and Director Special Media Projects and New Media, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has revealed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, hates his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo with a passion.
Fani-Kayode also said unlike the former Vice President, Tinubu has nothing to hide, no skeletons in his cupboard and “does not visit the dark places and he is pure in body, spirit and soul.”
In a statement released Sunday in Abuja, the former minister wondered how Atiku could call the former President Olusegun Obasanjo a statesman.
“This is the same man that is now calling OBJ a statesman and is saying he deserves a Nobel Prize and that his face should be on the naira.
“Atiku is lying. He does not mean a word of it. He is offering a Greek gift. He is playing politics.
“Deep down he hates OBJ with a passion and he has always done because the President outfoxed and outpunched him at every turn when he attempted his treacherous move to usurp him and take his place as President.”
Fani-Kayode also accused Atiku of conveteousness.
“Some of us shall never forget that. A man brought you from nowhere and made you his Vice President and you tried to knife him in the back and take his position.
“You tried to disgrace and humiliate him and you coveted his seat. That sounds like Lucifer when he was in heaven to me.
“No matter what you say about Asiwaju Tinubu he has never betrayed those that helped him to power. He is loyal to his own to a fault whilst Atiku does not know the meaning of the word.”
According to him, Asiwaju is so far ahead of Atiku in this and every other respect and they know it.
A man that cannot hold his own party together wants to be President. A man that cannot empathise with the suffering of the people and that gloats when people are suffering and when there is turmoil in the land cannot be trusted with power.
“A man that is trying to give the impression that he was part and parcel of Obasanjo’s success as President when in actual fact he was trying to frustrate that Government’s efforts to improve the lives of our people is nothing less than treacherous and deceitful and he cannot be trusted with power.
“May God deliver our nation from the clutches of such a creature. Even Peter Obi has far more to offer than him.
“Atiku and his camp know that Jagaban will win this election hands down and as each day passes it is getting clearer. That is why they are so jittery.
That is why they resort to nothing but falsehood, insults and abuse. That is why the only thing they talk about is Jagaban’s health and age. We want a campaign that centres on issues but Atiku and his men friends do not even know the meaning of the word.”
