Fani-Kayode attacks Atiku, PDP

Fani-Kayode who is known to be very vocal recently hit out at the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar for supporting the new CBN Naira redesign policy.

As reported by Legit.ng he accused the party of already having a mastermind plan to rig the election and inducing voters through electronic means of payment to voters to vote for their party.

In a recent interview with Seun Okinbaloye of Channels Television, Fani-Kayode agreed to the assertions of Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state that there are some persons in the Presidential Villa who do not want Bola Tinubu to become the next president of Nigeria.

Similarly, Femi Fani-Kayode is vexed at PDP's bannerman Atiku Abubakar who urged the CBN not to extend its deadline for the swap of the old naira note.

The APC chieftain said the comments of Atiku were insensitive and does not portray a leader who understands the plight of the people.

He accused the PDP and Atiku of already masterminding plots to buy votes at the forthcoming polls.
