Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria\u2019s ambassador to Germany, Femi Fani-Kayode, has declared that a Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi would never become president of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Fani-Kayode said the blood of all those the late Head of State, Sani Abacha killed would speak against presidential hopeful, Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

This was as Fani-Kayode said their spirits shall haunt Obi for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n

He was reacting to Obi\u2019s claim that those who fought for democracy under the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) now appear to be acting in ways worse than the military regime they opposed.<\/p>\n

However, posting on X, Fani-Kayode wrote: \u201cYou have totally and completely lost your mind and this post of yours will go down in infamy as the most consequential one you ever made.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you have written today is way beyond politics and you have assaulted the senses and wounded the sensitivities of all those who lost their lives, liberty and loved ones during the struggle against fascism, dictatorship and military rule.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo mock the memory of those that died fighting for democracy in the June 12th struggle and sacrificed their lives and liberty as members of NADECO in this way is unacceptable and unforgivable. Simply put it is despicable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe blood of all those that were killed by General Abacha and his goons, whom you served, shall speak against you for the rest of your life and their spirits shall haunt you from now till eternity.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason alone you stand accursed before the world, you shall NEVER become President of our nation and, as from today, your dwindling star shall be totally eclipsed and fade away until it is no more. God will perfect it and the blood of Jesus will seal it.\u201d<\/p>\n
