Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, has given “real
reasons” why the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress,
APC, President Muhammadu Buhari was absent at the presidential debate on
Saturday night.
DAILY POST earlier reported that President Buhari, candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) and his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, shunned the event which held at the
Transcorp Hilton, Abuja on Saturday night.
While Atiku had in a statement blamed Buhari’s absence as his reason
for boycotting the debate, the APC candidate, Buhari said he was absent
due to his tight
schedule.http://dailypost.ng/2019/01/19/breaking-atiku-withdraws-presidential-debate-carpets-buhari-apc-full-statement/
But, Fani-Kayode, reacting in a tweet, described Buhari as a
“coward’’ for shunning the debate while citing what according to him are
real reasons why the President, was absent.
According to the former minister, Buhari missed the debate because
“he has lost his mind and memory and didn’t want to appear in his
vegetative state.“
Fani-Kayode, while highlighting other reasons, wrote: “It’s a pity
that the two leading candidates did not participate in the presidential
debate this evening. Buhari is nothing but a coward. He is running
scared because he is incapable of expressing himself let alone
understanding the issues or defending his record in office.
“I missed the Presidential debate because of my busy
schedule”-Buhari. Not true. You missed the Presidential debate because
you are weak and cowardly and because you are no longer in control of
your mental and physical faculties. You missed the Pres. debate because
you have lost your mind and memory and you cannot take ten steps without
stumbling or falling.
“You missed the Pres. debate because the organisers wouldn’t allow
your Vice Pres. to stand next to you on the podium and help you to
answer the questions. You missed the Pres. debate because you are a
shadow of your former self and because you are now a pitiful sight.
“You missed the Pres. debate because you look blankly and vacantly
into the air when u are asked simple questions and you drawl and drool
spittle from both sides of your mouth when u answer them.
“You missed the Pres. debate because you are utterly deluded, you are
out of touch with reality, you are completely senile and you are
suffering from an advanced and irretrievable stage of dementia. You
missed the Presidential debate because you don’t know where you are you
don’t know what you do, you don’t know where you live, you don’t know
what date it is, you don’t know which party you are in, you don’t know
which office you hold, you don’t know which position you are contesting
for and you don’t know which country you are leading.
“You missed the Presidential debate because u are suffering God’s
judgement for your cruel ways. You missed the Presidential debate
because your handlers know that you are not fit to be President and they
didn’t want you to display your vegetative state and degenerated
condition before Nigerians.
“You missed the Presidential debate because you have no respect for
yourself and no respect for the Nigerian people. You missed the
Presidential debate because you couldn’t give a damn! It is for these
reasons that you missed the Presidential debate and not because you have
a busy schedule.”
