Femi-Fani Kayode, Former Minister of Aviation has attacked Nigerians claiming that Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo rejected to be on the list of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) for the 2023 general elections.
Tinubu clinched the presidential ticket in June defeating the former Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi and Prof. Osinbajo at the convention in Abuja.
The council list, which comprises about 400 members, was released on Friday by the PCC Secretary, James Faleke, a federal lawmaker.
Conspicuously missing is Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who contested against Tinubu. The VP was Commissioner for Justice when the APC flagbearer was governor.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode claimed those saying Osinbajo and Boss Mustapha rejected to be on the list should get their head examined.
He also urged the Peoples Democratic Party, to stop obsessing and whining about APC’s same-faith ticket and the composition of the ruling party’s PCC.
”Anyone that suggests that @ProfOsinbajo or @BossMustaphSGF rejected a place on the @OfficialAPCNg Presidential Campaign Council because of our Muslim/Muslim ticket needs to have his head examined. Why are these creatures from the Peoples Dunce Party so obsessed with our PCC.
”They left Bode George, Segun Mimiko & many others from the Wike camp out of their PCC because these men had the courage & decency to reject the proposition of another 8 years of Fulani rule after Pres. Buhari which would endanger the peace and unity of our country and turn every southerner & Middle Belter into a slave. Are those that took this noble stand to reject slavery, subjugation & bondage, not heroes? Is it a crime to insist on being treated as an equal? Should these men not be commended for their foresight & vision & decency?
”Yet instead of honouring them their party of slaves & slave masters seek to punish them for their noble stand & insist on having their pres. candidate, their Nat. Chairman and the DG of their PCC are ALL from the North even though this violates their party constitution & all the strictures of justice, decency, equity & morality
