Lateef Raji, who is a chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), says that Femi Fani-Kayode is envious of
the many achievements of the National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu.
The Punch reports that Raji said this during an interview on Thursday.
The source notes that Lateef Raji stated this while reacting to Fani-Kayode’s claim that the APC crisis showed that the North had put an end to Tinubu’s political dominance.
Raji said: “He and many others just envy Tinubu because that statement is flat. No one can take Yoruba for granted. How can we be marginalised when we hold the number two position in the country? Yoruba cannot be marginalised in anyway. People envy Tinubu and always wish for his downfall. However, if you remember very well, these were the same people that predicted that the APC would not merge successfully. After we did, they predicted that we would not succeed at the polls but we proved them wrong. So, we will keep ignoring them.”
According to him: “So far, the most important appointments have not been made. Appointments that do not need the approval of the Senate are usually not major ones. However, when it is time to make appointments, I am sure that Buhari will take the federal character into consideration. If he doesn’t, his attention will be drawn to it.”
