FATHER & SON!! The Fani-Kayode’s; The
History of RFK & FFK.
Who is RFK & FFK?
FFK brilliant but eccentric; like his father,RFF,
an anarchist with fascist tendencies, Remi
Fani-Kayode broke ranks with the old Action
Group, crossed to the old N.C.N.C to become
opposition leader in the old Western House of
Assembly, and together with late Samuel
Ladoke Akintola formed the old Democratic
Party in 1962/63, the party used by the
Hausa/Fulani mafia of the North as an
instrument to disorganise the Action Group
and the Yoruba leadership of the West. This
led to the downfall of the West, the
proclamation of the State of Emergency in the
West by prime minister Tafawa Balewa, and
the military coup of 1966 and the fall of the
First Republic. RFF fled into political exile in
Britain only to re-emerge after the end of
Nigerian Civil War only to remain in precarious
existence until 1993/4 when he died unnoticed
at the age of 72 years. Known for his
addiction to hard drug, RFF seemed to have
bequeathed to Nigeria a son who is following
his footstep.
