Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) has advised Peter Obi’s supporters,
better known as Obidients, to prepare for defeat in the 2023 elections.
The former Aviation Minister, in his latest essay, stressed
that anger alone cannot fuel a revolution as there must be a goal.
Fani-Kayode said though he takes Obidients seriously because
they are a formidable movement, “they are more like a loose cannon than a
guided missile”.
The ex-presidential aide, however, expressed admiration
about youths “venturing into the dark and murky waters of Nigerian politics”.
“I pray that they survive it and last, even if they don’t
make an appreciable impact at the polls next year”, he noted.
FFK said Obidients seem to lack a clear purpose “which their
leader, other than just wanting to be President, is incapable of providing”.
He expressed concern over their “high expectations”, adding
that “mental trauma might engulf them after crushing defeat”.
Fani-Kayode ruled out Labour Party (PDP) candidates from
victory in the February and March contests, citing the well grounded opponents
they will face.
“I doubt that they will win one Senatorial district or one
seat in the House of Representatives let alone a Governorship election or the
Presidential election.
“It is at that time that we shall find out whether they are
men and women or mere children venting on social media and expressing
frustrations at public events.”
Fani-Kayode added that it is after Obi and LP’s followers
have suffered loss that their resolve would be tested.
