OBIdients obsessed with fruitless agenda – Fani-Kayode
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi are obsessed with a fruitless agenda, and crack after the 2023 presidential election.
Fani-Kayode, in a long article titled “The OBIdients, the Jagaban and the Icarus Syndrome” on Sunday, noted the former Anambra State Governor was incapable of leading his supporters to success given what he said was his inadequate political experience.
The APC chieftain, who slammed those comparing Peter Obi with the standard bearer of the ruling party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noted that it would take a good fight for OBIdients to break the old political order in the country.
Fani-Kayode thus dismissed the chances of the Labour Party in the coming elections, adding that members would either freak out or crack after 2023.
He wrote: “If the truth be told, as at today, they are more like a loose cannon than a guided missile. Anger alone cannot fuel a revolution: there must be purpose.
“And that clear purpose is something that they seem to lack and which their leader, other than just wanting to be President of a so-called New Nigeria, clearly is incapable of providing.

“What worries me the most for them is, given their high expectations, the rude shock and sense of despair that will engulf them and the suffering and mental trauma they will experience after they receive a crushing defeat in next year’s presidential election.
“And receive it they will. I doubt that they will win one Senatorial district or one seat in the House of Representatives let alone a Governorship election or the Presidential election.
“It is after they have tasted and suffered that defeat that their resolve will be truly tested.
“It is at that time that we shall find out whether they are the men and women they claim to be or that they are mere children, venting on social media and expressing their frustrations at any and every public event.
“The old political order will not allow this to happen without a good fight. And even if it were to ever happen it would take a good number of years and much struggle.
“After 2023 comes the real test for them. After they suffer their first defeat next year they will either lose their nerve, freak out, crack up, break ranks, fall into disarray, whine like neophytes, sulk to heaven and back, suck their little thumbs or insult the entire world on social media.”
