A former Minister of Aviation, who is also the Director of
Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party
Presidential Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode,
has said he has changed the mind he had concerning
President Goodluck Jonathan.
He, therefore, slammed the All Progressives Congress for
running newspaper advertorials with his renounced and
outdated views about the President, describing the action
as a measure of the opposition party’s desperation.
Fani-Kayode said in a statement in Abuja on Sunday, that
the resort to such childish and dirty tactics by the APC
would not distract him from his present assignment of
selling the candidature of President Jonathan to the
electorate and the Nigerian people.
He also vowed to expose the APC presidential candidate,
Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), as incapable and
unfit to rule Nigeria.
Fani-Kayode said, “The APC have resorted to buying full
page adverts of outdated quotes about President Jonathan
from old essays written by me when I was in their ranks.
“This proves the measure of their desperation. Needless to
say I renounced those views about President Jonathan long
ago and since then I have returned to the PDP and have
given my unflinching support both to him and the party.
“I shall continue to do so because I regard the APC as an
evil party and their Presidential candidate, General
Muhammadu Buhari, as incapable of and unfit to rule our
country.
“All the old and outdated quotes, I cannot change that, and I
shall not be deterred or distracted from my present
assignment by such childish and dirty tactics.”
He wondered whether the APC has forgotten what Nasir El-
Rufai once said about Buhari being ”outdated and
unelectable” and what asiwaju Bola Tinubu once said about
Buhari being ”obsessed with power, wicked, sadistic and
unreliable.”
Both El-Rufai and Tinubu are staunch members of the APC.
Fani-Kayode said, “Better still, have they forgotten what
Buhari himself once said about Tinubu and his ACN
governors as being ‘corrupt, treacherous, unstable and
unreliable?’
“Clearly the APC has an obsession with me and my words
(past, present or future) and let me assure them that I shall
continue to focus my guns on them over the next two
weeks regardless of their paid television and newspaper
adverts about me.
“I shall continue to expose them for the violent men,
heartless cultists and dirty ritualists that they are to the
Nigerian people.
“At the same time, I shall continue to intimate our people
about the excellent work that Mr. President and the PDP
have been doing over the last few months and years and
why I believe that he deserves a second term.”
He added that all the sponsored adverts in the world cannot
stop or change his mind on the need for Nigerians to elect
the President for a second term in office.
He said that the APC should spend the next two weeks
before the March 28 Presidential election in sober reflection
and prepare for the crushing defeat that, he said, they will
face at the polls rather than bother about what I said or
didn’t say about Mr. President in the distant past. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
