A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has stated that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, cannot be compared to Bola Tinubu, the presidential flagbearer of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
He stated that comparing both men is like comparing Don Perignon to ogogoro or Cristal champagne to
what the people of the Niger Delta call ‘sepe’.
Naija News reports that Fani-Kayode stated this in an article titled, “The Obidients, the Jagaban and the Icarus Syndrome.”
According to him, those comparing the presidential candidate of the APC to the Labour Party are unserious.
Fani-Kayode claimed that Peter Obi was still a trader selling tomato ketchup and Bournvita in 1999 when Tinubu paid his dues and was already running for the Governorship of Lagos State.
He said: “What I find the most irritating and objectionable about the Obidients is not their unadulterated aggression and abusive tendencies but rather their insistence on comparing their leader Peter Obi to Tinubu.
“I consider this to be deeply insulting. It is like comparing Don Perignon to ogogoro. It is like comparing Cristal champagne to what the people of the Niger Delta call ‘sepe’.
“It is like comparing the finest red wine from the vineyards of Bordeaux to what the Ghanaians call ‘akpeteshie’. It is like comparing chalk and cheese. It is like comparing a Rolls Royce to a Volkswagon Beetle, a Porsche Carrera to a three-wheeled scooter, a Ferrari to a broken down mini or a Gulf Stream jet to an Aba-made helicopter.
“When Obi was still in kindergarten Bola Ahmed Tinubu was already a very wealthy and successful business man who had worked and invested massively in the oil, gas, hi-tech and communications sector. At that time he was already a dollar millionaire and he invested much of his wealth into politics and the lives of others that were less fortunate than he was.
“When Obi was still in secondary school Bola Ahmed Tinubu was already an integral part of the massive political network and a key figure in the late Major General Shehu Musa Yar’adua’s formidable political family which was known as the People’s Front (PF) together with other notable and seasoned leaders like Babagana Kingibe and Atiku Abubakar.
“They were of course to later join the SDP as a group and they, more than any other, ensured the emergence of Chief MKO Abiola as the presidential flagbearer of that party at their Jos Convention in
1993.
“When Obi was still at University Bola Ahmed Tinubu was in the trenches, fighting military Governments, leading NADECO and risking his life and liberty for the restoration of MKO Abiola’s June 12th mandate, which had been annuled by the military, and for democracy.”
He stated that many of today’s Obidients (the name given to supporters of Peter Obi) were not born at that time Tinubu played an important to give Nigeria democracy.
The former Minister said those of them around and very vocal and active at the time can testify to
Tinubu’s efforts.
He stated that Bola Tinubu inspired him and millions of other Nigerians and democrats all over the world with his courage and efforts.
Fani-Kayode said, “Many of our people were killed, incarcerated and driven into exile (including yours truly) and had it not been for the leadership of the following heroes we would still be under the yoke of military rule today.
“I will make this a full and comprehensive list for the benefit of those young Obidients who have no knowledge of our nation’s history and who know nothing about the June 12th struggle.”
Fani-Kayode said Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not just among them, but he was one of those that led them, inspired them and fueled and financed the resistance.
He said, “Outside of that and before the struggle even began, Tinubu had been elected as a Senator during the 3rd Republic in 1992 on the platform of the SDP, recording the highest number of votes for a Senate seat in the entire country! Whilst at the
Senate he excelled and was appointed Chairman of the Senate Commitee on Banking and Finance.
“This was just short of a decade before he became Governor of Lagos state in 1999 after the murder of MKO Abiola and the then Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, after returning home from exile and after the military were driven away and pushed out of office.
“From 1990 up until today Tinubu has been an active and key player in the political firmament of Nigeria
and he has always fought against injustice and tyranny.
“Whilst Obi was still a trader selling tomatoe ketchup and Bournvita in 1999 Bola Ahmed Tinubu had already paid his dues, made his mark and was already running for the Governorship of Lagos state.
“The elders of the South West and Afenifere supported him and rewarded him by ensuring that he won simply because of the noble and dramatic role he played during the June 12th struggle and his role in ensuring that the military left power.”
He continued: “It is a shameful and shameless comparison. It is a tactless, tasteless and nauseating joke. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing! It is an exercise in futility and a pointless and profit less endeavour. Permit me to end this contribution with the following assertions.
“Let the foundations of the earth rumble, let the demons scream, let the lions roar, let the wolves howl and let the sharks run riot. Let the wailers wail, let the bulls of Bashan charge, let the mortals plot and plan, let the orcs shriek, let the goblins grumble and let our adversaries and oppressors “cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war”.

I am just wondering where Obi was during the struggle for democracy in Nigeria. We know the active role Tinubu played during the NADECO time and June 12 struggle. Where was the messiah Obi?

stevnwigw1:
Dear Nigerians, if you cannot vote for Peter obi for whatever reason that is best for you, then vote tinubu.

asanausana91:
Peter obi was a governor during gej tenure, that means he is a member of National Executive Council (NEC)
He also served as member of the economic team after his tenure as governor, he was a close friend of gej.
As member of NEC he has the responsibility of advising the president, as member of economic team he has the responsibility of advising the president,as a close friend of the president he has the responsibility of advising the president. Now the question is, why didn't he advised or teach gej?

candidtalk:
Check my previous post to note I have already worked out your mindset that led to your post above about "Tinubu".

Comical Atiku is now a Saint to you abominable Igbos despite the fact he has been involved in more international scandals of corruption, embezzlement and abuse of office than all the other candidates combined.

Continue. The future reality of Nigeria will take you Igbos by surprise, again, because you are always consumed with the spirit of revenge, hate and vendetta to ever see clearly.

candidtalk:
Tinubu will win mark my word. If Tinubu does not win then Atiku will. You guys should grow up and stop fooling yourselves.

You have disgraced yourselves so much throughout history with your childlike and simplistic readiness to shun reality to begin supporting improbable odds, unlikely victories while seeking miracles up and down.

Only a toddler will dismiss the reality of what is shown below about a Party founded 20 years ago while APC is around 9 years old.

State House of assembly, the cheapest and most common legislative position to attain in Nigeria, labour has zero out of 991

If you think "youth revolution" will negate what is shown below then keep dreaming. It is what you people do best. It is why you predictably lost a war you could never win, if fought a million times, and why Kanu is now locked up with SE a terrorised region today.

Ttalk:
I don't have long stories to tell, all I know is that Buhari has a conscience burden to deliver Tinubu.

Buhari with 12 million almajiri votes could not win the election until Tinubu came with his support base, political prowess, his media gurus, and abundance of wealth to make him president.

A lot of insult and hatred has been hurled at Tinubu ever since for his role in the emergence of Buhari who performed below expectation on many grounds and has shown to be nonchalant to Tinubu's cause, but there is a moral burden on Buhari to reciprocate the good gesture that made him becomes the president.

Failure to do this will place a permanent burden of regret and betrayal and further expose the nepotism and sectionalism people are accusing Buhari of, it will further confirm the opinion of some that Buhari is grossly incompetent and has not been able to successfully achieve a task, goal or any objective since he became the president.

lexylaw40:
The only obvious reasons why Igbo people give their support to Obi is their BIAFRAN DREAM. THEY WANT OBI TO WIN THE 2023 ELECTION so that in turn Obi WILL RELEASE THE LEADER OF IPOB Mr NNANDI KANU FROM PRISON VIA A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON and there after Forge ahead together to actualize BIAFRA by force using the nation arsenal against Nigeria. But thank God there evil plan has been exposed and now dead on arrival. Our great nation Nigeria shall never fall.

Biafran terrorists, in form of Ipob and ugm, are mushrooming using Obi as a front.

Ipob's interest in LP is centered on Obi. After Nigerian govt asked international communities to declare Ipob a terrorist group, the financiers of Ipob started looking for a legitimate platform as surrogate. Obi became their surrogate. They want a political take over from which they can acquire state power, then unleash their original plan to occupy and hold Nigeria under a unitary rule commandered by a supreme ibo council.

They are upfront spreading and marketing Obi, but underneath they already are doing a take over in incremental steps. For instance, the party stalwarts and chieftains in LP are already grumbling in background of being sidelined in decision making and that Obi people are running his programs independent of policies set by NWC of the party.

The foreign trips by Obi to speak to Nigerians abroad was not a decision of NWC.. So who set up the invitation programme and funded the trip?

Couple of years ago Nnamdi Kanu took a tour of Canada and US, financed by Ibos in North America. Here are the cities Kanu visited, compare them with Obi's visit to exact same cities.

Toronto, Canada
Texas, US
Georgia, US
North Carolina, US
Washington, US
New York, US

Kanu also visited Germany and UK. Obi has done same.

To further highlight the ibo agenda in a bid to take over and occupy indigeneous lands in Nigeria, I bring to you the mind of Patrick Okedinachi Utomi, the man who stepped down to install Obi as LP candidate.

If you recall, Obi left PDP on a Wednesday, joined LP on a Friday, he was their presidential flag bearer on Saturday. He did not compete for the position, in other words, he did not earn it!

Listen to the mind of Pat Utomi who wants Nigerians to vote for Iboman. He is silent on Ibo atrocities against innocent lives in minority lands but rejoices the demise of those accused of killings in Asaba. He is in effect saying God retaliated for Biafra. This man wants Nigerians to vote for Obi, a frontman for biafran struggle.

Authorities should keep close watch on Obi.

Pls indicate your presidential candidate and the reason you are supporting him. This will help others who has not made their choice on the presidential candidate to vote for.
Thanks

otipoju:
Igbos have never been President nor Vice President since the return of democracy in 1999. So at the apex of national level politics na zero points uns get for over 23 years.

It is this kind of brain dead, boastful statements that make other tribes dey resent una. You boast over mundane things and ridicule your hosts while you are not in anyway hospitable to your guests.

Una tribalism pass Fulani own.
