The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council on Tuesday asked the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, to apologise to Nigerians over his divisive comment.

The call was made by the spokesman of the APC Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH.

Obaseki had warned that Nigeria will collapse completely if APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, wins the 2023 elections.

The governor, who made the statement in Benin on Monday at the inauguration of the Edo State Campaign Management Council of the Peoples Democratic Party, said no administration had done the kind of damage the APC government had done to Nigeria, noting that the debt profile of the country under the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd)-led government has hit N60trn.


Keyamo noted that Obaseki is parroting the hateful statement of his party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

He said, “We are extremely disappointed and shocked at Obaseki’s comment. It belittles his office as governor of Edo State and he has taken politics to an extreme that he shouldn’t have done. He has taken politics to play sentiment.

“First, it is his candidate (Atiku) who had gone around the country preaching divisive comments and calling on Northerners not to vote for Yoruba or Igbo candidates. That comment to date has drawn outrage from both local and international observers. And up till now, Obaseki and his likes have not apologised to Nigerians over that.

“What Obaseki is doing with the comment of Atiku is that he is trampling on the heads of his people in Edo State and the South-South. He is denigrating his people over whom he presided as governor.”

The Director, Media and Publicity of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Bayo Onanuga, in a statement on Tuesday, also condemned Obaseki’s remarks and described him as “toxic and obnoxious.”


Onanuga said, “For a man who swore an oath of allegiance to the sovereignty and unity of Nigeria to be a purveyor of ill-will towards the same country because of partisan politics smirks of total irresponsibility and recklessness unbecoming of a governor who has a constitutionally sanctioned duty to preserve the unity and indivisibility of Nigeria.

“It is worth stating that we are not in any way surprised about Obaseki’s outburst about Nigeria’s breaking. He is, by nature, a divisive, obnoxious, and toxic human being that lacks the introspection and contemplation expected of a person occupying the office of a governor.”

Obaseki reacts

Meanwhile, Obaseki’s Special Adviser on Media Project, Crusoe Osagie, said the APC chiefs cannot deny that a dreadful fate awaits the nation if their party wins next year’s presidential election.

Reacting to APC’s statement that Obaseki should apologise for saying that the country would collapse if the APC candidate Bola Tinubu is elected as President next year, Osagie in a statement on Tuesday, said the APC and its minions are either living on another planet or require evaluation over their attempt to fault the governor.

He said, “The APC’s gang of hirelings, including a once-upon-a-time human rights activist, continue to pollute the public space with their foul and distasteful takes on the governor’s comment while failing to properly read the room to know that the Governor spoke the mind of the majority of Nigerians who have in the last seven years been impoverished by the APC’s disastrous misrule.

“What part of the call for reawakening by Governor Obaseki is the APC and their minions calling to question? Are Nigerians not victims of the party’s calamitous handling of the country’s affairs, which has today made the country the poverty capital of the world, with a disarticulated economy, excruciating debt burden and a hapless population pushing their way through insecure communities, dilapidated road network, among other failings.

“When in April 2021, Governor Obaseki raised the alarm that the Federal Government was printing money to run the economy and warned that if such practices continued, the Naira was heading to N1000 to $1 as against the rate of N500 to $1 at that time, APC and their lackeys screamed blue murder, playing the ostrich and denying the obvious. But today, what does $1 exchange against the Naira? Is N800 to $1 not equivalent to the warning the governor issued about a year ago?”

Season of political jibe

OBASEKI IS RIGHT. NIGERIA CAN NEVER BE SAFE UNDER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ALONE. OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES MUST SHARE EQUALLY THE AUTHORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF GOVERNANCE OF NIGERIA. 36 HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE.. THE 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATE GOVERNMENTS SHOULD MAKE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DICTATING TO THE 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATE GOVERNMENTS.
THE ONE IS DICTATORSHIP AND THE OTHER IS DEMOCRACY.

The

Good. APC and Tinubu is a goal as everyone is happy with them. See how women were dancing with him in Kano.

Before nko. If APC venture win next year election, Nigeria will just disintegrate sharp sharp.

APC government and their spokesmen are all living in fool's paradise. Anytime they speak I feel ashamed of Nigeria. They (APC govt) broke all the indices and parameters of basic governance ( negative). They should hide their faces in shame, including the two APC men asking Nigerians for another vote. Shame on all off you

APC na mumu party

Nigeria safe ke

Buhari's tenure is 'living in bondage.' Never again

Honestly, I am ashamed on behalf of Buhari and his APC gangs.
How a party can be such an all-round failure and yet still fielding the worst candidate they can find is simply beyond me.

It's a very difficult job campaigning for APC or promoting the flag bearer. I don't envy them at all.

......The last 7 years of Buhari and APC stepped up the nations gloom and doom to the extent that for the first time since the end of the civil war in 1970, our resilience is being tested to a breaking point.

The daily harvest of needless death in the hands of terrorists of all shades, our national economic collapse leading to untold hardship, the oppressive extravagance of the ruling class, the hopelessness in our broken health, and educational infrastructure and many more are palpable testaments to our recent history presided over by President Buhari and his cronies...."

Silly jokers! Nigeria is not close to being safe under an crassly incompetent Buhari that Tinubu foisted, then what is the assurance it will be safe under the latter?

Shame shouldn't have allowed anything APC to talk let alone insulting the sensibility of the traumatised people of this nation. However, this is Nigeria where the shameless are never ashame of their shamelessness and the reward for failure is a norm.

.

APC has raped Nigerians for almost 8years.
No sane Nigerian would willingly submit himself to be further raped for another 8years.

Which Tinubu. APC should apologize to Nigerians and pack their loads and go

Tinubu nko Yaradua ni

Ok

BAT is coming, the earlier you realize, the better for you

Thanks APC for putting the noise maker in his place..it is only people like basky that will not see anything good in another person. He has that in his DNA. He is all knowing!

Festus Keyamo, a once-upon-a -time human rights activist being reduced to an attack dog defending the calamitous APC government and its Emilokan drug lord demonic Muslim Muslim ticket

Obaseki is right Nigerians are not safe under APC maladministration

Tinubu is the worst person to lead the country, another sick president who will hand control of Nigeria to his corrupt subordinates so they can what they like.

Be proactive. Get your PVC and mobilize your family and friends to vote for Labour Party and Peter Obi in February 2023. You can do it. Every vote counts to get Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed into Aso Rock. If we obidients can mobilize 3 people each to the polling booth to vote for Obi on election day, he will win the elections next year. Thanks.

Mumu pipo, suffer go soon belefu una, una see bread, una say na stone una wan bight, despite d fact say na bokoharam be him vice una still dey dia dey clap for gala wey Don spoil, make I sitdon dey look una, fools, if u try any nonsens quote, chai, I go swallow u.

Why won't Nigeria be safe under tinubu when he'll recruit 50million youths into the army. Obaseki doesn't know what he's saying, shettima that'll end insecurity in six months while tinubu will also better the economy in 2 wéeks, obaseki should get his facts right abeg, their administration has promised to follow in the big footsteps of the able buhari

If you are still supporting this evil and wicked party, e no go better for you.
Life will treat you the way APC and tilumbu are treating Nigerians
Amen

Na mumu people full APC oh...how is NIGERIA safe under a desperate old man that won't even smell Aso rock? Where did they get that statistics and assumptions from?? If only APC and Tinubu supporters can see how animalistic and foolish they sound. Pathetic
