former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has launched an attack on Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, predicting that he would never lead Nigeria.
The attack comes after Obi compared current politicians who once championed pro-democracy activism unfavourably to late military dictator Sani Abacha.
Fani-Kayode, in a post on X on Friday, described Obi’s remarks as “way beyond politics,” saying they had “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,”
