Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister, has said that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is secretly working against Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said this in an interview published by The Express on Tuesday.
The spokesman of the defunct Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation said Osinbajo, who he said had become a houseboy to the ‘uneducated’ Fulani in the corridors of power, changed immediately be became Vice President. He added that his sudden change may be unconnected with his ambition to be president in 2023.

Fani-Kayode said it was painful that Osinbajo would turn his back on Tinubu, who he said worked hard to get him selected as Vice President.
He said Tinubu had made mistakes trusting President Muhammadu Buhari and his Fulani compatriots with power. He said the former Lagos State Governor is in for a shocker when all the plot against him unravels. He also said some South-West governors are working against him as well.
“Tinubu will not tell you this, but they have already started. And his own boy who he made the vice president is working against him quietly. So, a time will come, if…..this government lasts up till that time in 2023, when he will know the mistakes he has made.
“Even, some of the Oodua state governors are actively working against him. I won’t mention their names. These are APC governors. But by the time we get to 2023, if we get there as a nation, that is when he will get to know what all these people are doing,” he said.
He said it would make him happy if Tinubu would retrace his steps and return to the sons and daughters of Oduduwa to fight a common cause. He commended Tinubu saying he had built men of enviable status in politics.
However, he likened his error to that of Afonja, who stood on the side of Fulanis at the expense of the Alaafin of Oyo in ancient times.

Afonja would later lose his throne to the Fulani, which is why Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, has an emir till date.
Fani-Kayode also dismissed the opinion that Tinubu had nominated Sunday Dare and Rauf Aregbesola as ministers in Buhari’s cabinet.
