A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi Fani-Kayode
has reacted to former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi,
the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP.
Fani-Kayode, a spokesperson for the Tinubu/Shettima campaign
council, said Obi’s endorsement by Obasanjo is an exercise in futility.
His statement was contained in a post via his verified
Twitter handle.
Recall that Obasanjo, in a New Year message to Nigerians,
endorsed Obi for the 2023 election, citing a track record of ability and
performance.
The former president also said age, physical and mental
disposition favour Obi more than other frontline candidates.
While reacting to Obasanjo’s endorsement of Obi against his
principal, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressive
Congress, APC, for the forthcoming presidential election, Fani-Kayode said it
could not change the fact it is Tinubu’s time.
He wrote, “OBJ remains a father to us all & I will
always respect him. Despite that, I reserve the right to disagree with him when
& where necessary. His endorsement of @PeterObi is not only inexplicable
but also an exercise in futility. It is @officialABAT’s time: nothing can
change that.”
