Fear Of EFCC Made Fani-kayode Leave APC – Tinubu by Nobody: 10:51pm On Mar 03, 2015
A former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, says a former Minister of Aviation, Mr.
Femi Fani-Kayode, left the All Progressives
Congress because the party desisted from
influencing the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission to drop the charges against him.
Fani-Kayode, who is the spokesman for the
President Goodluck Jonathan Campaign
Organisation, is currently standing trial before a
High Court in Lagos for alleged money
laundering.
However, Tinubu in a statement by his media
aide, Mr. Sunday Dare, noted that since Fani-
Kayode returned to the Peoples Democratic
Party, the case the EFCC had built against him
had been weakened as 38 out of the 40 charges
had been struck out.
Tinubu said this while reacting to an allegation
by Fani-Kayode that within six months of an
APC government, Tinubu would order the party’s
Vice-Presidential candidate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo,
to step aside, and he (Tinubu) would take
control of the Presidency.
He said, “Bola Tinubu helped build the great
platform for change; he wholeheartedly supports
the APC ticket because he believes it is the last
best hope to rescue Nigeria from the disaster
Fani-Kayode and his ilk will want to continue.
“I pray Nigerians will not allow them to
misgovern us a day past May 29. If Fani-Kayode
pretends not to know of Tinubu’s efforts to
build and support the APC, it comes as no
surprise. Fani-Kayode tried before to be part of
the party but left when he found out there was
no room for his games. Because the APC could
not help to free him from the EFCC and the
aviation fraud, he ran away to the party that
blocked the EFCC on his behalf.”
Tinubu said the fact that Jonathan chose Fani-
Kayode – who is in court for alleged financial
impropriety – to be the image maker of his
campaign organisation shows what the PDP
stands for.
He urged Fani-Kayode to continue to attack the
APC presidential candidate, Maj.-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) as the attacks were
making Buhari more popular.
He said, “That Fani-Kayode is the best a ruling
party can present as a spokesman speaks
volumes about the PDP. They are bereft of
talent and character. They are filled with lies
and chicanery. Fani-Kayode is simply the worst
and most outspoken of a bad lot. However, we
welcome his interventions. They are of such low
quality and base character. His utterances
frighten people but not in the way Fani-Kayode
intended.
“Instead of scaring people away from the APC,
his work scares people that someone so unfit is
so close to the seat of power, someone so
unhinged is given free rein to spit bile and call
that public discourse. One must wonder who is
unbalanced, the misfit or he who hires him.
Keep at it Fani-Kayode. Continue!”
The APC leader said Fani-Kayode was known
for peddling lies and urged Nigerians not to take
him seriously.
The former governor said the fact that Fani-
Kayode could cook up such lies showed that the
PDP was already imagining defeat.
He said, “Fani-Kayode is not as smart as he
thinks. If you read between the lines of his
hysteria, you see another extreme sentiment:
that of surging desperation. His statement
indicates that even he now realises that his
paymaster has lost to Buhari/Osinbajo.
“The game is over. The whistle has blown. What
the fantasy man seeks to do is change the
game. He seeks to run against Tinubu in hopes
the outcome will be better. Fani-Kayode now
grasps at straws in the night wind.”
