Nigerians descend heavily on Fani-Kayode for hailing Tinubu, Shettima

A photo of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kassim Shettima, the presidential and vice presidential candidate of the All Progress Congress (APC) has evoked the anger the social media users.

The photo of the APC stalwart was shared on the Instagram handle of Femi Fani-Kayode, the Director of Special Media Projects, Special Operations and New Media at the APC Presidential Council.

While the former Minister of Aviation paid glowing tribute to the duo, the comments cited underneath the post have been filled with criticism of the ruling party.

He wrote: “Leadership goes beyond glamourising poverty. We won’t glamourise poverty, we tackle poverty.

I won’t tell you I have two pairs of shoes or I have a single wristwatch.

Leadership goes beyond spewing dubious statistics or showcasing a mediocre performance as the Governor of Anambra State.

I respect Atiku Abubakar but leadership goes beyond unstatesman-like rantings. A man who can’t unite his own party, I wonder how he can unite a country.

We are talking about Artificial Intelligence or big data or nanotechnology but the training that an elder statesman got from Kano School of Hygiene was that of wole wole.

The ability to sell bottled water doesn’t make one an expert on the economy.

My parting shot is that Atiku Abubakar is not Abraham Lincoln, he is Raila Odinga and come May next year, we are going to permanently retire the political tourists to Dubai.”

arsenos commented: "Any political that has you as a member isn’t ready to transform a country and fight corruption. How far the aviation money you stole? Isn’t that why you went to join APC? We (youths) know all of you, we won’t allow you pple run this country like your private homes. It’s time for good leadership, it’s time for accountability, it’s time for economic transformation and time to finally make Nigeria work and unfortunately your candidate and paymaster can’t do what we clamour for as a country. We don’t know him, too many sketchy details about him. It’s time to let accountability rule, it’s Peter Obi’s time to change and save Nigeria from the hands of the vulture-club politicians."

easymoney3188 commented: "Unfortunately Fani Koyode is a wasted spèrm. Soon you will cross over to another party and you will start singing we again."

onwanike commented: "What has Shettima done all his life apart from counting people’s money in the bank? Who the hell is he? Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi is by far better than him. What are the accomplishments that give him the impetus to be insulting people anyhow? From Ice cream seller to Popcorn and Tomato seller and now this. Utter rubbish."

shegezig commented: "It seems you have memory loss or something, the way you talk about this your candidate like it is another party that is in power suffering Nigerians, destroying the life we had as a nation."

eraggs01 commented: "Wake up wake up collect your money. Ffk anywhere belle face. Shey you and jollof na siblings? And I hope you are the mole in APC they are looking for. Your credibility is in check and I am certain APC is been careful with their dealings with you"
