Press statement from Femi Fani-Kayode
Our attention has been drawn to a report titled “Fani-Kayode blasts
Jonathan; says President is leaving legacy of ‘destruction and
disaster’”, being circulated in the social media, and wish to put the
records straight once and for all. The statement being referred to was
lifted from media reports of April 25, 2013 (two years ago), during the
sojourn of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode in the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
The report does not, in any way, represent Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s
opinion of President Jonathan whom he holds very high esteem, a fact
that made the former Minister of Aviation work so vigorously for Mr
President as Director, Media and Publicity of his campaign organization
in the just concluded presidential election. The relentless efforts of
Chief Fani-Kayode in the course of the campaigns have been acknowledged
by Mr President as well as the generality of Nigerians. The cordial
relationship that exists between them is exemplary and legendary. We are
very much aware that the reason for this latest round of unwarranted
scheme by enemies of Nigeria is to sow the seed of discord and create
acrimony between the president and one of his most reliable allies in
particular, and in the PDP in general. But their plans have since
failed! We therefore call on all those who are behind this show of shame
and advise them in the strongest terms possible, to desist from such
acts of cowardice, wickedness, preposterousness and puerility as they
blow no one any good wind. We also call on all patriotic and
well-meaning Nigerians to ignore such reports and treat them as
non-existent whether now or any other time in the future. Mr President
is our leader and Chief Femi Fani-Kayode holds him in very high esteem,
accord him the respect he deserves and is very proud to be associated
and to have worked for him. The relationship between these two great men
remains cordial. No degree of campaign of calumny by misguided elements
can change this very fact,”
