Femi Fani-Kayode, Former Aviation Minister has attacked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar over his comment that northerners do not need a Yoruba or an Igbo president.
Atiku in a bid to getting the attention of the northern people to vote for him massively had played the ethnic card by underrating the south and west in his political calculations.
Reacting to this development via his Facebook page, Fani-Kayode said Atiku is a dying breed who still see things from a regional, ethnic and religious prism.
“Atiku’s words are not only unacceptable but also insulting, irresponsible and despicable. This is especially so given the fact that by next year we would have had 8 years of Northern/Fulani rule and now this man says we must have another 8 years of it because that is what is “best for the North”.
“Most Northerners do not believe this and thankfully they, unlike Atiku and members of his divided party, do not see Southerners as slaves and they regard us all as being equal. We will not allow Atiku to do to Nigeria what he did to Wike,” he said.
