Some concerned elders across the country have vowed to hold the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, responsible if anything.

Festus Keyamo, will enable him provide evidence on his allegation that the LP presidential candidate, a man so loved by many, was planning to stage an assassination attempt. “In any case, no amount of desperation by Keyamo and his cohorts in the APC will change the direction of the majority of the votes in the 2023 presidential poll. “We are, however, worried that this false claim by Keyamo may just be exactly what his party may be plotting against the popular Presidential candidate of LP, and by the special grace of God, has the support of millions of Nigerian voters.

I am taking seriously the focus on Obi because he is that one of the three leading presidential candidates that has said he, and we have been told to accept, has the touch to transform Nigeria in a manner no other candidate can or has. In other words, what should be of moment is what he has to say in unvarnished truth of how Nigeria can get out of the corner it has been painted into by the incompetence, misgovernance and corruption of some past leaders (all issues that have been accentuated by the structural problem identified above). Until Peter Obi is able to offer a road map around and away from the treacherous slopes of this roadblock, his prognosis of the Nigerian crisis will always remain a poetic flight of fancy than a realist take of our political situation.

We are seeing a contestant whose vision and speeches are purely economy-based and a conscious agenda to shift the focus of the country from consumption to production. We cannot afford to continue to live in the past. Jonathan was replaced by a retired military leader, Muhammadu Buhari, who took over in 2015 and has within the seven years of his presidency, virtually left the country in ruins. In him, for the first time in the history of Nigeria, we are seeing a presidential contestant emerging without backing of the political elite of his geo-political zone. Faced with unceasing agitations by Nigerians for the military to quit the center stage of politics, the departing General Abdulsalami Abubakar regime presented Nigerians with one of their own, Retired General Olusegun Obasanjo, as civilian president. The regime was short lived as the military kicked it out in 1983.

Fani-Kayode's message to Peter Obi: In the lengthy post accompanying the video clip, titled: “Peter, you are nothing but a LIAR”, the former Minister accused the ‘Obidients’ leader of attempting to spark off not just a tribal war between the Igbos and Yoruba but a mishap that’ll eventually culminate into a civil war in Nigeria as a result of his lies.
