Fani-Kayode gives fresh insight into APC campaign composition
Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, has given an insight into the composition of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign.
According to him, the composition was done “on the basis of region, zone, & political expediency.”
Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Abubakar Atiku, had claimed Osinbajo and Mustapha purposely rejected their being included in the council, due to their disagreement with the party on its faith ticket.
But, Fani-Kayode faulted Bwala’s explanation. “Anyone that suggests that Professor Osinbajo and Boss Mustapha rejected a place on the APC 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?” he wrote.
“Finally get this: we do not zone political offices on the basis of religion, we zone them on the basis of region zone & political expediency. That is why the PDP fielded a Christian/Christian ticket in Osun state & won the Governorship election even though the state has a 50% Muslim population and no one complained.
“Why should the leaders of PDP be so concerned about our Muslim/Muslim ticket when their party fielded a Christian/Christian one in Osun? What is good for the goose is surely good for the gander!
“This issue is a matter of choice. Someone tell these misfits of the Peoples Dunce Party & their accursed leaders to stop obsessing & whining about our same faith ticket & the composition of our PCC and instead meet us in the field.
“They should stop talking crap and crying more than the bereaved and let the people decide. That is what you call democracy.”
Aside the former minister, Festus Keyamo, the director of public affairs of the campaign, said that President Muhammadu Buhari personally directed that Osinbajo and Mustapha be exempted for purpose of governance.
