Femi Fani-Kayode, Director, New Media sub-committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, has reacted to criticism from the United Kingdom over controversial comments he made during the electoral season.

Ben Llewellyn-Jones, British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, during an interview with Nigeria Info FM on Sunday, faulted the APC presidential campaign council’s director of new media, for making “derogatory” remarks.

Last month, Fani-Kayode was invited for questioning by the Department of State Services (DSS), for claiming that Atiku Abubakar, presidential flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had a meeting with some top generals before the elections.

“Yes, let’s be specific, there were some people, like Femi Fani-Kayode, what is he saying and why is he saying it? I don’t understand. It is wrong from my perspective that he will speak on behalf of a party and that party does not distance itself from him and say stop doing that. It is wrong to say that,” Llewellyn-Jones had said.

Reacting to this in a tweet, Fani-Kayode advised the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria to “keep his dirty nose out of our [b]internal affairs.”

“These are my personal views and I am constrained to express them given the fact that one @benllewellynjo1, a misguided, mischievous and clearly unlettered Englander who does not know his place, threw away all caution and mentioned my name in his inglorious commentary.

“I would advise this Ben, who I am told is the Deputy High Commissioner of the UK to Nigeria, to keep his dirty nose out of our internal affairs. Nigeria stopped being a British colony 63 years ago and we need no lessons from him on how to run our affairs or conduct our politics.

“I know that his preferred candidate did not win the presidential election but that does not mean he should cross the line and take liberties with us here. I wonder who the hell he thinks he is? I am not one of those Nigerians that bows, shakes, shivers and trembles before the British or indeed any other foreigner.

“And unlike most I do not need any validation or endorsement from him or his ilk and neither can I be intimidated by his veiled threat of a visa ban. Frankly I could not care less.

“I would however take this opportunity to assure him that regardless of his views and desire to compel us to accept their godless so-called “humanist” and “libertarian” values and introduce evil practices and policies such as same-sex marriage in our country this will never be the case.

“My aversion for sod*mites remains as constant as the northern star and whether he likes it or not we will never allow a sod*mite to be our President. Neither will we accept lessons in decency, etiquette, what to say or how to speak from a fading British civil servant and a man that represents a nation that has committed more atrocities than perhaps any other in the history of humanity.

“I advise this little Englander to respect himself and remain a silent observer when it comes to the politics of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. As a nation we are not a poodle of the British and we came of age 63 years ago.

“He should be more concerned about the shrinking fortunes of a once “Great Britain” and the systemic racism, inherent injustice and insufferable arrogance that is entrenched in the British establishment and society than in the intra party politics of Nigeria.

“He should also be more concerned with the efforts of his nation to bring us one step closer to WW3 given the unfolding events in Ukraine.”

Nigeria rising..

No to colonialists meddling in our affairs.

They hid Diezani from Nigerians despite all the atrocities she committed in Nigeria, they kept quiet when Kanu was inciting hate through his radio biafra transmitted from UK, they only came when Nigeria's State Secret Service nabbed him.

Who do these folks really think they are?

festacman:
Is Femi Fani Kayode working for Tinubu or against him? APC and Tinubu should call this loudmouth to order immediately. A president Tinubu needs UK more than he needs FFK.

A diplomat of a strong ally of Nigeria made a complaint about your unnecessarily jaundiced opinion and you are reacting as though he slept with your wife. Yes, Nigeria is an independent nation but you can always communicate that like a mentally-balanced human being.

So sad.

kk2027:
My own be say

The stolen mandate should be returned

A new Nigeria is POssible

Cooldowntemper:
If this guy sniff Tinubu left over cocaine finish e go begin yarn dust .

What he is trying to do now is to make UK break ties with Nigeria when peter Obi becomes president.

Kole work Mr oha soup

JagabanBorgu:

How did UK become our ally?
Do u know what an ally is or u want to be a worshipper of the west?
Couñtries like Burkina Faso, Mali etc are kicking their colonial masters out and slamming bans on them, u want us to worship UK, who told u that the UK sees u as their ally?

JagabanBorgu:

PitObi a western puppet will NEVER be the president of Nîgerià.
Let this sink in.

FFK should know that a president Tinubu needs UK more than he needs him and Tinubu, under little diplomatic pressure, can relegate to background in order to maintain a smooth relationship with UK.
