Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO, yesterday warned All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders to stop insulting Yoruba Obas.
Director of Media and Publicity of the PDPPCO, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode said in a statement that “it all started when they referred to our traditional rulers in the South-West as ‘worshipers of mammon,’ meaning that they are cheap and vulgar and that they worship money.
“The second one was when Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the de facto leader of APC, referred to all the Yoruba Obas as not being decent people with the exception of only three. That means that as far as he is concerned, 97 percent of our Obas in Yorubaland are useless and irresponsible people.
“The latest insult that they indulged in was when they labelled our reverred traditional rulers as ‘bribe takers.’ They suggested that our candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, was giving them bribes and that they were gladly receiving those bribes. The APC continues to insult our traditional rulers and our Obas in the South-West and this, as far as we are concerned, is unacceptable.
“We are not surprised by the pronouncements of people like Tinubu and the APC about our traditional rulers because we know their antecedents. It is clear to us that it is only when someone has a thousand fathers, or when that person does not know who his real father is, that he is ready to insult our traditional rulers in this way.”
The PDPPCO also alleged that out of desperation the APC leaders had been involved in occultism.
