Fani-Kayode Reacts As Tinubu Appoints 25-year-Old As FERMA Chairman

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode, has mocked the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) over the crisis rocking the opposition party.

Naija News reports that the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and five aggrieved governors of the party known as the G-5 have been involved in a feud.

The aggrieved governors include Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia).

The governors stressed that the North couldn’t produce a presidential candidate and National Chairman at the same time, stating that the South should be represented in the party leadership.

They, however, pulled out of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, demanding the immediate resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, as a condition to return.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Monday night, Fani-Kayode likened the opposition party to a man with one testicle who cannot function properly.

The former Minister of Aviation stated that the PDP is in disarray due to the rift between Atiku and the aggrieved governors of the party.

Fani-Kayode added that the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has done the greatest damage to the PDP by attracting votes in the North Central states which are their traditional areas.

He said: “PDP is totally divided; the party is like a man that had one of his testicles removed.

“Five and a half governors are opposed to the party; one of the governors called me the other day expressing his disappointment.

“Five governors are no longer with them and are fighting them openly; this appears to me like something that can’t be resolved.

“Peter Obi has done the greatest damage to them by attracting votes in the North Central areas which are traditionally PDP areas like Plateau, and so on.

“Jang is with Obi now. He has taken votes from them in places like Edo, Delta, and the Southeast. So, where will the PDP get its support from?”
