The Director Special Media Projects and New Media, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Femi-Fani Kayode, yesterday said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is as fit as fiddle, contrary to insinuation by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that he is sick and weak.
In a statement he issued to refute the claim by one of the campaign spokesman of Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Dino Melaye, Fani Kayode said unlike the PDP candidate, Tinubu has nothing to hide, as he has no skeletons in his cupboard, and does not visit the dark places because he is pure in body, spirit and soul.
“Atiku cannot come anywhere near Asiwaju in terms of his mental or physical virility or acumen. Whether mentally, physically or spiritually Atiku is very far behind. Worse of all he lacks intellectual substance.
“All you need to do is speak to him for ten minutes to know that his head is totally empty and that there is nothing between his ears. The man knows nothing. He is dangerously shallow.
“Other than flying all over the world with his men friends and living like an Arab Sheik who is surrounded by slaves when he is in his native Dubai, the man is as hollow and dull as a barrel.
“In the days of President Obasanjo, those of us that were in that Government knew him as the pretender, the usurper and the kingslayer.
“We called him those names because he tried his best to usurp the powers of the then President and he sought every opportunity to undermine, insult, discredit, humiliate and dishonor him”, he said.
Speaking further, Fani-Kayode said Atiku tried his best to slay Obasanjo politically but God was with the President and he delivered him from his evil hand.
“It was so bad that on two separate occasions I was constrained to attempt to walk him out of cabinet meetings and I told him off in front of the entire cabinet and President but each time Obasanjo saved him.
“Had it not been for OBJ’s kindness, merciful nature and intervention the entire cabinet was ready to take my lead and walk out on him for his treachery”, he said.
