Former Minister of Aviation, Femi
Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the withdrawal of Oby Ezekwesili, as the
presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN.
Fani-Kayode said Ezekwesili never
stood a chance to win even a polling boot, let alone win a ward or one local
government area.
In a post on his Facebook, the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain said the former Minister of Education
was a “spoiler candidates” with “malevolent errand of mischief.”
He also called on Kingsley
Mogahalu to also step down and endorse the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar.
Fani-Kayode wrote: “Oby
Ezekwesile has finally opted out of a presidential race in which she had little
chance of winning even one per cent of the votes.
“It would have been easier for a
pregnant Somalian chimpanzee or a four-eyed Zambian frog to be invited to
Buckingham Palace for lunch with the Queen than for this so-called
“presidential aspirant” to win one polling booth, let alone one ward or one
Local Govermment Area, in the race.
“The fact that Oby’s running
mate, one Galadima, and her political party endorsed Buhari three hours after
she opted out of the race speaks volumes.
“She, Fola Durotoye and Omoyele
Sowore were clearly spoiler candidates who were on a malevolent errand of
mischief, who were never to be taken seriously and whose hearts secretly lay
with the tyrant all along.
“I have no doubt that those who
claim that Oby and the other “not too young to run” presidential aspirants,
with the possible exception of Kingsly Moghalu, were just a front for Buhari
and a futile attempt to take votes away from Atiku Abubakar and the PDP.
“The wisdom of Atiku refusing to
participate in a debate with these unconciable jokers and desperate pretenders
cannot be faulted or questioned.
“They did not deserve the
attention that they so desperately sought and their motives for participating
in the presidential race are, to say the least, questionable.
“The only one amongst them that
had anything meaningful to say or to offer and that spoke from the heart and
with full sincerity of purpose was George Moghalu. This is a deeply courageous
man that I have come to respect.
“Nevertheless I urge him to opt
out of the race and throw his weight behind Atiku. This is not Kingsly’s time
but something tells me that sometime in the distant future he has a date with
destiny.”
