Former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode always seems to have an opinion about the political going ons in the country and his opinion bank has not run dry concerning the rumoured feud between ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Goodluck Jonathan.
Fani-Kayode, who served as a minister under the Obasanjo regime advised Jonathan to not remain on the bad side of Obasanjo due to the latters ability to be a political maestro of sorts.
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode said that “the only hope left for the PDP is if President Goodluck Jonathan listens to President Olusegun Obasanjo and those behind him and drops his 2015 ambition.”
Fani-Kayode in a statement added: “The truth is that Obasanjo is one of the greatest political strategists that Nigeria has ever known and he is an extremely dangerous adversary. I know him well and his ways are deep.
“ Go and find out what happened to all those that betrayed him or tried to kill him. Their end is never good. Those close to Jonathan would do well to advise him to get on his knees and beg his political mentor. Only Obasanjo, with the help and support of President Ibrahim Babangida and Vice President Abubakar Atiku, has the power, authority and moral gravitas within the PDP to call the dissidents to order and rally their support. Without that, President Goodluck Jonathan is finished and he should just wave goodbye to his 2015 re-election ambitions.
“The APC, with the support of the PDP dissidents, will form the next Federal Government of Nigeria. That is the way to go. PDP, as we once knew her, has gone forever. The ship has hit the rocks and she has sunk to the bottom of the sea. She is dead and buried and my prayer is that her soul rests in perfect peace’’
Many analysts, are however of the opinion that Obasanjo is not in a position to deliver the electorate in any capacity. This is due to the shameful performance of his candidates, including his daughter in the 2011 elections.
