It is no longer news that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar has triggered mixed reactions among Nigerians following his comments at an event in Kaduna yesterday.

It would be recalled that the Ex Vice President said Northerners need to vote for him rather than a Yoruba or Igbo Candidate.

Reacting over Atiku’s comments through his Facebook page, Former Minister of aviation and member of the All Progressive Congress, Femi Fani-Kayode has that comment that has been credited to Atiku Abubakar is provocative.

According to him, the PDP Presidential candidate is playing with fire.

“To say the North will be better off if a Northerner is in power for yet another 8 years and will be worse off if an Igbo or Yoruba is in power is an insidious, provocative, dangerous, and self-serving. Atiku is playing with FIRE!” Femi Fani-Kayode posted on his social media account.
