Peter Obi Can’t Be Trusted – Fani Kayode

A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has questioned the trustworthiness of Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate. In a series of tweets via his verified Twitter handle today, Kayode wrote, “Until Peter Obi tells us what happened to him at Heathrow Airport and why he was accosted and detained by British immigration officials over Easter, he cannot be trusted or taken seriously.”

The spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council stated that Obi must clarify if he violated British laws, either knowingly or unknowingly, during his detention. Recall that Obi was earlier detained and questioned by British immigration officers at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom during the Easter period.

Speaking about the incident in a tweet, Obi wrote, “Sometimes as humans, we make mistakes but, I will never knowingly break any law. I am therefore not afraid of the lies and propaganda against my person. They are part of the journey to a New Nigeria.”

Something around Obi smells very bad- Fani Kayode

The APC chieftain noted that “Peter Obi’s claim that he never “knowingly” broke the law speaks volumes and suggests that he broke it “unknowingly”. Sadly for him not knowing that you broke the law when you actually broke it is no defence and in any case, there are some crimes that are known as “strict liability offences” which do not even need any premeditation.”

Fani-Kayode also stressed that only God and time will reveal what Obi is hiding. He said, “What, if anything, is he really hiding? Is it drug dealing, drug smuggling, human parts trading, human trafficking, fraud, misappropriation of public funds, money laundering, 419, murder, conspiracy, treason or all of the above? Only God knows and only time will tell!”

He further wrote, “Whatever the case there are too many unanswered questions about this strange, deceitful, mendacious, perfidious, obnoxious, vexatious, fascistic little man whose voice sounds like that of a Jezebellian eunuch and a castrated monkey. Something around him smells very bad.”
