Nigeria’s ambassador to Germany, Femi Fani-Kayode, has
declared that a Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi
would never become president of Nigeria.
Fani-Kayode said the blood of all those the late Head of
State, Sani Abacha killed would speak against presidential hopeful, Peter Obi.
This was as Fani-Kayode said their spirits shall haunt Obi
for the rest of his life.
He was reacting to Obi’s claim that those who fought for
democracy under the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) now appear to be
acting in ways worse than the military regime they opposed.
However, posting on X, Fani-Kayode wrote: “You have totally
and completely lost your mind and this post of yours will go down in infamy as
the most consequential one you ever made.
“What you have written today is way beyond politics and you
have assaulted the senses and wounded the sensitivities of all those who lost
their lives, liberty and loved ones during the struggle against fascism,
dictatorship and military rule.
“To mock the memory of those that died fighting for
democracy in the June 12th struggle and sacrificed their lives and liberty as
members of NADECO in this way is unacceptable and unforgivable. Simply put it
is despicable.
“The blood of all those that were killed by General Abacha
and his goons, whom you served, shall speak against you for the rest of your
life and their spirits shall haunt you from now till eternity.
“For this reason alone you stand accursed before the world,
you shall NEVER become President of our nation and, as from today, your
dwindling star shall be totally eclipsed and fade away until it is no more. God
will perfect it and the blood of Jesus will seal it.”
