Presidential Campaign Organisation of the Peoples Democratic Party has alleged that a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is plotting to become the President of Nigeria through what it called the back door.
It said the plot by the former governor, who is a stalwart of the main opposition party, the All Progressive Congress, was to take over as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the event that the APC candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), wins the March 28, presidential election.
Director of Media and Publicity of the PDPPCO, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, made this allegation at a press conference in Abuja on Friday.
He nevertheless said the campaign team of the PDPPCO wished Buhari a long life.
Fani-Kayode said skeletal information available to the PDPPCO suggested that the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, was picked by Tinubu and “forced to take an oath” to resign his appointment six months into the new cabinet, should the APC win the elections.
After his resignation, the PDPPCO further alleged that the party would field Tinubu as his replacement and to wait for the health condition of Buhari to worsen to Tinubu’s advantage.
He asked Buhari to “watch his back,” adding that the “gang-up” against him and Nigerians was situated on the calculation that his health would deteriorate and lead to his death, paving the way for the expected “new vice president” to take over power.
Fani-Kayode said, “It should baffle well-meaning Nigerians why Tinubu has decided to draft Buhari, despite his age, acrimonious background and questionable health status, into the presidential race whilst ensuring that his stooge, Prof Osinbajo, was foisted on the general as vice presidential candidate.
“The reason is that the PDPPCO wishes to use this forum to expose the ungodly plan by Tinubu to seize the presidency of Nigeria by subterfuge.
“You will recall how Tinubu wanted to be running mate to Buhari in spite of the nationwide resentment for Muslim-Muslim ticket that he and Buhari planned to foist on their party men and women.
“Senator Tinubu had justified the (planned) ticket by saying that competence was the important thing and not the issue of religion.
“But when he and Buhari could not push through the agenda within the APC, he (Tinubu), after been given the opportunity to nominate a vice presidential candidate, decided to prop up his stooge in the person of Prof Osinbajo.
“Now, the real reason Tinubu nominated Osinbajo has been made known to us and we hereby offer a public service to the Nigerian people by drawing national attention to it. Credible pieces of information at our disposal indicate that Tinubu has perfected plans to come to power through the back door.
“Tinubu, according to our information, has compelled Osinbajo to swear to an oath that after six months in office, he would resign as the vice president, in the unlikely event that their party wins. The wicked plot, as laid out by them, is to force Osinbajo to resign for Tinubu to be nominated by Buhari as his replacement.”
Fani-Kayode added, “The ultimate objective of this plot is to ensure that Tinubu becomes President. The script is simple: given the questionable health of Buhari, Tinubu, who is desperate to be president for his own selfish reasons, will simply bid his time in the evil expectation that Buhari will not be able to go the whole hog.
“How wicked can those that hatched this plan be? How unfair can they be to the North, to Buhari and to Nigerians? We wish Buhari long life. Senator Tinubu’s dangerous plan is about getting power. This is sad. No thoroughbred Yoruba man or indeed Nigerian wants to get power through the misfortune of another person.
“But this is the perfidious path that Tinubu is passing through. This is repugnant.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Ffk has no basis so far and I want to stop reading his comments. How on earth could that happen when there are laid down rules..............
ReplyDeleteWhich laid down rules? If a Vice President resigns his office becomes vacant and the President appoints another Vice President. This is obviously the plan and would have happened if Buhari and Bakare won last time. Let Nigerian's continue to deceive themselves with this change slogan.
DeleteThis man called by the name FFK when will he thinks right and stop heating the polity ?
ReplyDeleteAnother Drug induced Beer palour discursion
ReplyDeleteFkk how is that your headache what are you afraid of
ReplyDeleteIt might sound bitter,but d truth of d matter is dt if dir is any rumour dir is element of truth in it.take it or leave it
ReplyDeleteWhat a senseless talk.do ffk think we are not wise at all in nigeria.what a shame.you just open your gutter mouth and say rubish out.is it this hunger that is affecting your brain.enemy of the youth.
ReplyDeleteAs far as i know,Ffk is leaking a sealed secret..We the northerners have already known de plan of power monger Tinubu..its better i vote Gej than GMB for now,so that in 2019,we wil present a vibrant and eligible young northerner for de presidency...hmmm...politricks
ReplyDeleteWho appointed you the speaker of the Northerners and when are did you meet to discuss that? Mumu.
DeleteFfk, bring another story, you've already failed on this. with this type of lies u've restore to u are now creating more enemies 4 yourself.
ReplyDeleteMy fellow Nigerians.
ReplyDeletePlease read FFK/PDP's statements carefully and thus understand their underlining implications.
These statements are indeed clear pointers on how GEJ/PDP think democracy is ran in a sane Country that is with a Constitution and laws that govern it.
Fellow Nigerians, this clearly shows that GEJ/PDP Government are actually the tyrants, they are actually the non-democrats.
It shows how unprogressive, unprofessional, unpatriotic and barbaric the thinking of PDP as a party is. They put their interest above the Constitution of the Nation.
As, it's already outline on Nigerianeye.com, the following facts about FFK are already crystal clear to all sincere and patriotic Nigerians;
1) FFK is nothing but a charlatan and non-entity. FFK has no integrity by this, FFK should please allow real people to talk.
2) FFK, was in APC with the ambition to become their VP Candidate.
3) FFK however had an enormous opposition to that VP slot by name BRF who happens to be the "Boy is Good" of virtually all Nigerians.
4) Having realized that nobody in his/her right senses will even give FFK a second thought when compared with BRF, FFK then started the calumny of Muslim-Muslim ticket.
5) Even though FFK capitalized on the already Religious polarized Nation which GEJ has stirred the Nation into, the APC guys never bulged nor flinched like PDP did in the case of Obanikoro's ambition. APC refused to offer the VP slot to FFK.
6) Out of frustration, FFK exited APC and rejoined PDP but without any crucial information that FFK could use to either to damage APC or spoil their chances.
7) To further crown the frustration, APC selected a VP candidate that perplexed even GEJ/PDP themselves and GEJ/PDP thus trembles at the Prof's credentials.
By this, FFK should please just go back to the mental institute in Ghana and complete his rehabilitation. This time around for a very long period.
FFK wat do u wan nigerians 2 do now??? can we go 4 ur oga 2 avoid dis situation??? u know dat is imposible, ur ogo mus go!!!
ReplyDeleteHe speaks the truth, Tinubu is an evil man
ReplyDeleteEnough of ur propaganda! Keep it to urself.
ReplyDeleteYes we've heard the rumours but life is more of time and chance, than circumstance. No matter how well you arrange the circumstances, there's still an uncontrollable element to the affairs of men.
ReplyDeleteHe will never stop cos he was born like that. As he would. Always be ashewo
ReplyDeleteSo FFK knows that Buhari will win the presidency! If not, he wouldn't be bothered about his phantom insinuation.
ReplyDeleteNobody is thinking right in PDP again. It is clear that FFK has accepted defeat. Buhari will be president and live long whether you wish it or not. As for senator Tinubu, it is better he concentrate on building the APC as he is doing a good job with that. He should ignore the temptation of elective office for another 8 years. He should concentrate on national well-being behind the scenes.
ReplyDeleteWell said sire / ma'am.
DeleteFf doest know his job again. I thought he was to be campaigning for jeg?
ReplyDeleteYou guys are fools. What he is saying is true.
ReplyDeleteWise fool Solomon. So if a president dies is it the party leader(Tinubu) that takes over presidency? Goats would be ashamed to associate with you given ur level of thinking.
DeleteWhat is your problem man address the issue if you cannot please shut up and calling somebody fool
DeleteWhen will this tout called ffk think rightly but not surprise his father arranged and make sure that chief akintola was killed during wet e in d west those days,so is a family disease that can never be cure ffk family re known for this,
ReplyDeletePastor Tunde said so before dat get was ask to resigned for post he have nt occupied. All bcz of Tinubu. GMB be careful
ReplyDeleteMumu! FFK & U got it wrong! D candidates of d then ACN i.e tinubu's party in 2011 were Ribadu & Tola Adeola and not Buhari and Bakare. Shame on gej, Ffk,pdp & its apologist for suffering from STM (Short term memory). Only a fool like u will vote for Jonathan and pdp
DeleteI am convinced now that PDP camp is really jittery considering all the tricks and wasteful press conferences FFK has addressed in the recent time. There is no going back on our decision to have a serious administration in Aso rock come May 29th 2015.
ReplyDeleteHe wanted to force Bakare to sign a similar deal in 2011 but he refused, that's why he didn't back Buhari that year. It's seems Osinbajo has signed that deal. It seems that's the only reason Tinubu is backing Buhari. And it may not even be up to 6 months. It could be like 2 months considering that Osinbajo may be having his own health issues too.
ReplyDeleteToo much home video watching. If it were Hollywood films u have been watching, u will know that these vodoo logic of FFK cannot work in a democratic society.
DeleteIt is too unfortunate to have these type of dead senses people in governance in this country or did he think that everyone should be desperate like he & colleagues? capital NO!
ReplyDeleteFFK should just shut up his dirty mouth if he doesn't have any other strategy to campaign against Buhari again bcos how can a sane man reason dis low in dis civilised world, FFK u re a moron... March on Buhari
ReplyDeleteThe types of FFK, PDO, AF are disgrace to this nation with their shallow words & i don't think they think before they talk, this is disgusting
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the PDP ways of getting power through windows, such can only happen in PDP not in APC party that is constitutionally guided.
ReplyDeletePDP is at again; group of propagandists and liars. No matter number of lies PDP concort, the Will of God shall come to pass on March 28.
ReplyDeleteA fool will forever remain a fool no matter how long it takes. FFK has yet to realize he is nothing but a comical fool
ReplyDeleteThis guy named Femi Fani-Kayode is a big disgrace to the Nation and his family. He has wasted his family's resources for reasoning like this having claimed to have gone to school. No doubt, he must be a thief and a very bad person to be reasoning like this. Read what he wrote and how could that happen in Nigeria? It is through that Pastor Bakare said that he was being asked then to resign as Bubari's VP but what happened? He refused them even before the elections were held. The reason is simple, Buhari single handedly went ahead to select Pastor Bakare without consultation with the ACN party hierarchy. And at a point, ANPP under the leadership of Buhari was planning a merger with ACN, at that point pastor Bakare was asked to sign a purported document indicating his resignature as VP of Nigeria. Then what happened, he refused vehemently. Of course, they will ask him to resign because he is never part of them as a politician. And of course, we all know that only Tinubu single handedly raised the party. And Tinubu could not trust pastor Bakare. When Obasanjo sent all the governors in the south west away in 2003, only Tinubu survived him and for this and many more, Baba Tinubu earned a lot of respect from me. Not only this, look at his successor, Mr. Fasola, look at what he did in Lagos state. So Tinubu is a great man and a leader with vision and very smart. FFK, you sounded unintelligent. How can what you wrote be true? I thank God someone like you is not my father. Even if that's true, is it possible?
ReplyDeleteAll of u guys insulting FFK are just being foolish and ignorant, Tunde Bakare said in the past that he was asked to sign a resignation letter as the vice president he hasn't become, but he refused signing it that's why Tinubu did not fully support Buhari. What makes u guys think that Osibanjo has not signed the same letter of resignation to pave way for Tinubu becoming the vice president should Buhari win the election? What makes u guys think that with Tinubu as the vice president will not want to get rid of Buhari through court means knowing fully well that Buhari is not qualified to vie for the post of the president.
ReplyDeleteI am only sorry for u northerners, that u guys are being fooled because of ur biased mind set, ethno-religious wise. Instead of u guys to support GEJ and be rest assured of producing a young and vibrant leader come 2019, u guys are here fooling urselves.
No matter the population of the north, the southerners will continue to determine who becomes the president of Nigeria owing to the fact that the middle beltans are no longer seeing themselves as northerners.
There is every reason to believe what FFK is saying .If you have been following the trend you would observe that Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly has also said something liks this , that the reason why the Merger between the then CPC and ACN did not hold was that Bola Tinubu wanted Tunde Bakare to resign ahead of Election so that he could be the VP
ReplyDeletei cant blame ffk, cos so far 'if groundnut shell is not good definitely the fruit inside will never be well'
ReplyDeleteFani werepe should leave us to decide, why are you having sleepless night already. Saw him on channels TV with John fashanu yarning rubbish. You will die before your time as you carry Buhari matter for head like gala. Wayray alaso.
ReplyDeleteFemi has come again. You no dey carry last. Mumu talk too no dey finish for your mouth
ReplyDeleteDo not be surprose about FFK write up,he is doing what he has been paid for. Obasanjp called him dog.Obasanjo said if you give food tp dog you all know how it will behave,that is exactly what ia happening. GEJ has feeded FFK what do you expecting from FFK again is it not to ise his dirty mouth to run down opposition party. Useless FFK
ReplyDeleteif FFK is a dog,you and obasanjo are worst dogs.
Deletewhen Lai mohamed lies you will clap for him,FFK has spoken wisely you want to crucify him.
ReplyDeleteHa ba!! Femi is biting more than he can chew. We all know the game of running down a candidate. How did Jonathan get to be the president? Did somebody not die for his saaaaake.
ReplyDeleteFELLOW NIGERIANS,
ReplyDeleteDO NOT SLASH AND TEAR YOURSELVES OVER A "RAG" CALLED FFK BECAUSE THAT'S A CODE FOR A NATIONAL VIRUS WHICH BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE HAVE GOTTEN A CURE FOR - BUHARIQUINE! LISTEN TO THIS PREDICTION: VERY SOON, NOT TOO FAR FROM NOW, EVERYBODY, INCLUDING JONATHAN, WOULD JOIN GMB'S CAMPAIGN TRAIN, JUST AS THE SPOKE'S MAN FOR GEJ'S CAMPAIGN TEAM - FFK, HAS DONE! THIS IS THE RESULT OF EMPTINESS AND DESPERATION!
THE pdpigs SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED FOR JOINING BUHARI'S CAMPAIGN WHICH FFK HAS STARTED BY ACCEPTING THAT APC'S STANDARD BEARER WOULD WIN ONLY THAT THEY WOULDN'T LIKE TINUBU TO BE HIS RUNNING MATE! NIGERIANS, YOUR ASSIGNMENT ON THESE OUTLAWS CALLED pdpigs IS SIMPLE: ASSURE THEM THAT OSIBANJO REMAINS BUHARI'S VICE AND THAT THEY SHOULD DISABUSE THEIR DISILLUSIONMENT OF TINUBU AND OSIBANJO TAKEN AN OATH!
NIGERIANS, UNITE ON THE 28 MARCH4BUHARI AND DELIVER OUR GREAT COUNTRY NIGERIA FROM THE pdp AMATEUR AND BLIND RULERS WHO ONLY LEAD TOWARDS THEMSELVES! CHANGE IS REAL AND WOULD HAPPEN SOONEST! CHANGE!

Fani kayode and Lai Mohammed. Birds of a feather. Doing best what they are paid to do. Both are propangandists, rumor mongers and liars. If you believe one and disbelieve the other.. then you are more foolish than they are. QED
