Chief Femi Fani Kayode, Nigeria’s former Aviation Minister, has taken to Twitter to lay blame on the people of the South-East for contributing to the loss of candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in the February 23 presidential election.
He further queried the South-East’s 1.67 million votes for Atiku despite the PDP vice presidential candidate, Peter Obi, coming from the region. According to him, the South-West, which has less stake in the Atiku/Obi ticket as neither presidential nor his deputy hailed from the region, contributed 1.75 million votes to the ticket.
Fani-Kayode in his explanation said that in spite of that inequality, the South-East should have given the Atiku/Obi ticket more votes.
He wrote,
“In the 2019 presidential election South East gave Atiku Abubakar and Peter OBI 1.67 million votes whilst the South West gave the same Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi’s ticket a whooping 1. 75million votes, notwithstanding that the geo- political region had no direct stake in that ticket.”
