Femi Fani-Kayode, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, has stated that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar is not a stepping stone to Igbo presidency.
According to Fani-Kayode, Atiku, who has been vying for the presidency for the past 30 years and has failed in all attempts, cannot be a stepping stone to the Igbo presidency.
If Atiku is elected in 2023, he has promised to leave the presidency to the Igbos. During a campaign rally in Anambra State, he reaffirms the pledge he has made repeatedly in the past.
In response, Fani-Kayode stated that no one can prevent Igbos from producing the presidency when the time comes.
A statement from the former Aviation Minister that was seen on Facebook described the PDP presidential hopeful as arrogant.
“Do the Igbo need you to become President? You have been trying to be President for over 30 years and you have not been able to make it and now you are saying you will be the stepping stone for someone else.
“Please gather your senses together and hear the following: when the time for an Igbo Presidency comes, no one can stop it and they will not need a fading, weak, corrupt, deceitful, dishonourable, treacherous, anti-Southern religious bigot and ethnic hegemonist to be a stepping stone for them.”

Fani-Kayode has always shared the view that the Igbos should be allowed to produce the president of Nigeria for the sake of equity, justice and fairness.
After sharing prison walls with Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Fani-Kayode was open about his support for the powers that be in Nigeria to listen to Biafran agitators and seek a political solution rather than resorting to gun intimidation.
