Fani-Kayode said that while Obaseki is free to support whoever he wishes it is unfair for him to attribute “divine or deific status to Atiku Abubakar or hold him out as a unifier or bridge builder.”

The Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Organisation has reacted to a statement by Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki that Nigeria would break up if the All Progressives Congress (APC) wins the 2023 presidential election.
Director of Special Operations/Projects and New Media of the campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, said in a statement on Wednesday that Obaseki’s statement was nonsensical and puerile.
“The notion that Nigeria will break up if our candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and our party the APC wins the presidential election next year is as nonsensical and puerile as it is asinine,” Fani-Kayode wrote.
“The corollary of this view is that Nigeria can only remain together if Atiku wins.”
Fani-Kayode said that while Obaseki is free to support whoever he wishes it is unfair for him to attribute “divine or deific status to Atiku Abubakar or hold him out as a unifier or bridge builder.”

Fani-Kayode continued, “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.
“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.”
In his concluding words in reaction to Obaseki, Fani-Kayode said, “Finally to those that say that Bola 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. We know who the dictators are and Asiwaju is not amongst them.”
