Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to a viral video that captured a moment, former presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi was reportedly bounced by Vatican security during Pope Leo XIV inauguration.

In the video making the rounds, Obi could be seen with Cardinal Francis Arinze talking with a Vatican security personnel while other dignitaries were going into the VVIP section for the papal inauguration ceremony.

According to reports, the former Anambra Governor was stopped for allegedly failing to present the required invitation pass.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode in a post on his X handle, mocked Obi, saying that the former governor was “beautifully bounced” until President Bola Tinubu intervened.

He wrote, “Despite Cardinal Arinze’s noble efforts it appears that @PeterObi was not allowed in to see the Pope.

“He was beautifully bounced until @officialABAT put in a word for him and he was later allowed in to pay homage”.

According to FFK, despite the intervention, Obi was “not allowed anywhere near the Pope and instead went and paid homage to our President.

“Obidients take note: only go where you are accepted and appreciated and not where you are tolerated”.

SmartPolician:
Peter Obi, as a papal knight, has visited the Vatican more than any other politician in Nigerian history.

Tinubu put in words as wetin? A member of the conclave?

Breeze don blow fowl yansh don open. When he was at the late Pope's funeral, his supporters were trying to score cheap political point, saying he was invited, he's papal knight, he's the son of the soil, bla bla bla.. If he was invited, then why was he bounced?. Trust me, if he had had an handshake with the Pope, he would have uploaded it on his Twitter page with lengthy inspirational quotes. And his supporters would have been running with it.

madridguy:
Leave cho cho cho, shows Obi's photo with the new Pope.

Beremx:

Joining APC Makes the Brain Stop Working’ and 4 More Daniel Bwala Anti-Tinubu Remarks

There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy: hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny. – Frederick William Robertson

Daniel Bwala, a staunch critic of President Tinubu, his administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been seen frolicking with the President in recent days, which has infuriated the public.

For his past statements against the APC, Bwala, who was a spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council during the 2023 elections, has now drawn backlash.

He was an APC member until he defected to the PDP in 2022. He would later cite the ruling party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket as the reason for his exit.

While announcing his decision on X on July 10, 2022, Bwala wrote: “Tonight I officially resigned my membership of @OfficialAPCNg on principles and conviction that I hold so dear. At this time of our national existence, our efforts and energy should gravitate towards uniting our people.”

‘JOINING APC MAKES THE HUMAN BRAIN STOP WORKING’

Bwala made a post on X in November 2022: “The human brain is unique and miraculous. It works and functions optically 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, until you join APC, then it stops working.”

Since his post resurfaced on Thursday amid his unabashed declaration of support for the APC, Bwala’s cognitive abilities have been questioned by Nigerians.

An X user with the handle @chymaker wrote, “His brain stopped working.”

Another X user @Morris_Monye, wrote, “There’s something wrong with this man’s brain.”

“Your brain didn’t take that long to stop working. Either you forgot to go for an annual checkup or your network is not as strong as you think. Whatever the case is, learn to clean your mouth,” wrote @Gary_Mazi

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
