Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has described
Peter Obi’s supporters as “dangerous”.
The followers of the Labour Party (LP) presidential
candidate are known as “Obidients”.
In an essay titled ‘Who are these Obidients’, Fani-Kayode
said he’s interested in knowing what they represent and stand for.
The former presidential aide noted that their rise and
relevance in Nigeria’s politics within a few weeks “is meteoric and
phenomenal”.
Fani-Kayode said the followers of other 2023 flagbearers
need to understand them and find how their minds work in order to defeat them
next year.
The author warned that it would be at the peril of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to ignore
the Obidients.
“The truth is that they are far more dangerous to our
collective cause as a ruling class than many of us can possibly conceive or
appreciate.
“Only the discerning can appreciate this and know precisely
where this whole thing may be heading.
“They may not have structures or representatives in the
legislative and executive arms but they have ideas and vision”, Fani-Kyode
added.
