Party Crisis: Tinubu Is A Dictator, Atiku Is A Scammer- APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Director of Public Engagements, Special (Media) Operations/Projects and New Media of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Organisation, Femi Kayode, has said if Tinubu is a dictator, Atiku, the presidential candidate of PDP is a scammer.

 

Newsonline reports that Femi Fani Kayode also added that the belief by Nigerians and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling APC which produced Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima will break up the country is nonsensical.

 

Kayode, a former minister of Aviation said it is Atiku who he accused of being a’ disunifer’ that will destroy the country if given the chance to rule the country in 2023.

 

Kayode said since the days Atiku was vice president of the country under president Olusegun Obasanjo from 1999-2007 he was always working against established rules.

 

The Director Public Engagements, Special (Media) Operations/Projects and New Media of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Organisation further added that the PDP presidential candidate destroyed the PDP under Jonathan by defecting from the party.

 

He further accused Atiku of destroying the zoning arrangement of the party when he contested for the PDP presidential primary knowing fully that by the party’s constitutional arrangement the presidential candidate of the party should come from the South.

 

Kayode said, “The notion that Nigeria will break up if our candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our party the APC wins the presidential election next year is as nonsensical and puerile as it is asinine.

“The corollary of this view is that Nigeria can only remain together if Atiku wins.”

Femi also slammed the Edo State governor for stating that Tinubu’s ticket will break up the country while overlooking Atiku.

 

“Whilst Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state is free to support whom he wishes it is most unfair for him to attribute some kind of divine or deific status to Atiku Abubakar or hold him out as a unifier or bridge builder.”

 

He added that “Atiku is by far the most destructive force that has bedevilled the Fourth Republic.

 

Not only did he attempt to destroy President Olusegun Obasanjo and his administration which he served from 1999 till 2007, but he also destroyed the chances of his party the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan from winning the presidential election in 2015 by his infamous deceit and betrayal.

 

“Today in 2022, he has done the same to PDP all over again by dividing the party, violating its constitution with impunity, imposing himself as its presidential candidate, insisting on keeping a divisive, cantankerous and malevolent specimen of a man who calls himself the National Chairman in power and betraying the few righteous and courageous Southern and Northern Governors in his party by implementing what is clearly an ethnic, religious and regional agenda. When he returned to the PDP it had two testicles but today it only has one left.”

 

He continued, “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.”

 

Femi Kayode argued that “If he ever becomes President he will destroy Nigeria itself in precisely the same way that he has destroyed the PDP.

 

“He will suck out the very soul of our nation with all its goodness and virtues and leave us a shadow of our former selves.

 

“He is a destroyer and not a unifier: a destroyer that is surrounded by a group of shady businessmen and wild and hungry touts who spend their time throwing crazy parties behind closed doors in exotic locations like Dubai, Paris and Morocco and who have no idea or knowledge about how to address our nation’s problems or run a modern nation-state. Placing Nigeria in the hands of such a man and such people will surely be our end.”

 

“Finally to those that say that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a dictator I say this: if Tinubu is a dictator then Atiku is a serial political scammer and incredulous schemer who cannot be trusted by anyone and who would sell his soul to the devil for power,” he said.
