The former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has described the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan as a failure and urged Nigerians to ensure that he does not retun if he contests again next year.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo, Osun state capital on Thursday, Fani-Kayode who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) posited that his former party was evil. Expressed worry on the state of the nation, Fani-Kayode explained that the incompetence of the President has caused many problems for the nation amongst the international community.
“Jonathan has failed in all sectors including the economy and security and if he should be allowed to continue in office, this country is heading for serious disaster and it will be calamitous.”
He added “Nigeria is more divided now more than any time in our history. We are faced with a government that only believes in Ijaw value. The ijaw people have succeeded at imposing only what favour them on the overall people of the nation.”
He blamed former President Olusegun Obasanjo for elevating Jonathan as Vice President in the administration of former President Umaru Yar’Adua and insisted that Obasanjo caused the present problem being experienced in the country as a result of his mistake in chosing Jonathan then. He, however, noted that “former President Obasanjo has started cleaning up the mess he caused by putting Jonathan in office”.
He said the Yoruba nation has been marginalized by the Jonathan administration and called on all Yorubas not to vote for Jonathan in 2015. He also said that any attempt to allow President Jonathan stay in office beyond 2015 would spell doom for the Yoruba nation.
According to him “Chief Obasanjo is my great leader who I have a lot of respect for and I will continue to respect him but the truth is that Obasanjo caused the problem we have today. The joy of it is that the same Obasanjo who anointed an incompetent leader for Nigeria is now cleaning up the mess.”
On why he left the PDP for APC, he said “the PDP is an evil and it must be stopped. The party lacks internal democracy and this is one of the strengths of the APC. Today, my leader and father, Chief Obasanjo has his sons and daughters in all the political parties and this is a pride for him and we his children.”
