The statement reads:
“We invited you here today to intimate the Nigerian people,
through your esteemed media organisations, about a
despicable and wicked agenda that is being orchestrated by
the opposition to scandalise, undermine and bring into
disrepute our candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan
(GCFR), his wife, the First Lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience
Jonathan, our Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs.
Diezani Allison Maduekwe and other key government
functionaries and members of his administration.”
“The special operations and intelligence wing of my
Directorate has been reliably informed that the opposition is
planning to air a documentary about the private lives of
President Jonathan, the First Lady and the Minister of
Petroleum Resources.”
“The documentary is riddled with falsehood and it is vulgar,
smutty, cheap, shameful and salacious. This initiative is
being spearheaded by the entire leadership of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and is being funded and
organised by two serving governors and one former
governor who controls his state through his hand-picked
stooge.”
“Our response to this initiative is one of utter repugnance.
That the opposition has degenerated to such a point that in
response to legitimate questions that were raised about the
record in public office of their Presidential candidate,
General Muhammadu Buhari and their de facto leader,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in two major and widely viewed
documentaries, the only recourse they have, rather than
answering the questions put in those documentaries, is to
try to humiliate, shame and disgrace our presidential
candidate by making the most baseless and scandalous
accusations about his private life. The truth is that this
shameful course of action will not work and we shall not be
distracted. Neither will we lose any sleep over it.”
“We are, however, by this press conference, sending a clear
signal to the three APC leaders that are funding and
spearheading this initiative that it will not in any way serve
the interest of their party or the interest of their Presidential
candidate if they insist on treading that path or toeing that
deplorable line.”
“In the event of them insisting on treading this dangerous
and dishonorable course, we reserve the right to respond
fully and use all legitimate means to expose the inherent
evil that these three individuals habitually and continuously
manifest in both their private lives and whilst in public
office.”
“The truth is that they can say what they like about
President Goodluck Jonathan, his family members and
those close to him but one thing they cannot say is that,
unlike one of the three individuals that is behind this
disgraceful initiative, President Jonathan does not show an
unhealthy interest in the affairs of little boys and he does
not indulge in gross and perverse intimate acts with them in
his spare time in an obscene, indecent, shameful and
completely unacceptable manner.”
“They can say whatever they like about our candidate but,
unlike one of the three individuals that are behind this
reprehensible initiative, it is not President Goodluck
Jonathan that ended up eloping with and eventually
marrying the house girl of his former leader.”
“They can say whatever they like about President Jonathan
but it is not our President who drove his own father into
political oblivion, broke the poor man’s heart and sent him
to an early grave in pain, tears, defeat and shame.
Presidential Jonathan did not do any of these things. It is
those that have insisted on engaging in this shameful and
repugnant initiative that have done these things.”
“They know who they are and, for now, we need not
mention their names. At the appropriate time, we shall
mention names and expose every aspect of the sordid life
styles of these individuals and at that time the Nigerian
people will judge for themselves.”
“The second issue we want to touch on today is the
shameful proposition that was made to General
Muhammadu Buhari by the representatives of a number of
western governments when he was in the United Kingdom
for a prolonged stay. He had appealed to them for support
and to get their endorsement. He had talks with the
representatives of at least four western countries. The
leaders of those countries made an offer to General
Muhammadu Buhari and we are reliably informed that he
has put the offer under consideration.”
“The proposition and offer was that if he was prepared to
support legislation in Nigeria to allow same sex marriage
and if he was prepared to repeal the anti-gay laws in Nigeria
they will, in return, endorse, support and fund him, initially
covertly and eventually publicly, at the right time.”
“Instead of outrightly rejecting these offers and spurning
this proposition, to our utter shock and consternation,
General Buhari apparently refused to rule it out and has put
the matter under consideration. Instead of him to say NO he
assured them that he would consider these two things. We
believe that this is a matter that ought to be brought to the
attention of the Nigerian people as a matter of urgency.”
“The APC are so desperate to ensuring that General Buhari
becomes the President of this country that they are actually
prepared to consider the scrapping of all anti-gay or anti-
homosexual legislations and at the same time, endorsing
and supporting fresh legislation that would allow same sex
marriage in our country. They are considering this despite
the fact that the overwhelming majority of the Nigerian
people find same sex marriage and, indeed, homosexuality
repugnant and unacceptable.”
“We are using this occasion to challenge General Buhari to
come clean and to tell the Nigerian people whether this is
true and whether, in the unlikely event of his being elected
President, he is seriously considering scrapping the anti-
homosexual laws in our country and pushing through new
legislation which would allow same sex marriage.”
“The third issue is as follows. We read, with amusement,
the threat by the Buhari’s Campaign Organisation through
their spokesperson, Mr Garba Shehu, that it is their intention
to drag the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, before the
International Criminal Court of Justice (ICC), for allegedly
indulging in what they described as ''hate speech'' at a
recent rally in Rivers State.”
“Dame Patience Jonathan is a woman of peace. She did
not threaten anyone with violence; she did not incite
anyone to commit violence or to kill others and her words
have not resulted in death, mass murder or any crimes
against humanity. We therefore completely reject the
baseless charge and assertion that she has called for the
killing or slaughter of anyone at any point in time.”
“Their threat to take the First Lady to the ICC is not only
absurd but it is also nothing but the empty and boastful
ranting of a perfidious, desperate, decaying and dying
political party and such threat will amount to nothing. The
truth is that if anybody is a candidate for the ICC, it is
certainly not Dame Patience Jonathan, but rather General
Muhammadu Buhari himself.”
“We say this because, firstly, he needs to answer questions
about his role in the July 29, 1966 coup and the mass
murder of about 300 Igbo army officers, including a serving
Head of State, that took place that night. Secondly, there
are questions to be answered about his role during the
pogrom and massacre in northern Nigeria in 1966 in which
no less than 100,000 innocent Igbo civilians, including
women and children, were slaughtered in cold blood by
mobs that were covertly armed and supported by a small
handful of junior army officers.”
Fani-Kayode also condemned the APC for allegedly spying
on the PDP. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
