Our attention has been drawn to a report titled “Fani-Kayode
blasts Jonathan; says President is leaving legacy of ‘destruction and
disaster’”, being circulated in the social media, and wish to put the records
straight once and for all.
The statement being referred to was lifted from media reports
of April 25, 2013 (two years ago), during the sojourn of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The report does not, in any way, represent Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode’s opinion of President Jonathan whom he holds very high esteem, a
fact that made the former Minister of Aviation work so vigorously for Mr.
President as Director, Media and Publicity of his campaign organization in the
just concluded presidential election. The relentless efforts of Chief
Fani-Kayode in the course of the campaigns have been acknowledged by Mr.
President as well as the generality of Nigerians.
The cordial relationship that exists between them is
exemplary and legendary. We are very much aware that the reason for this latest
round of unwarranted scheme by enemies of Nigeria is to sow the seed of discord
and create acrimony between the president and one of his most reliable allies
in particular, and in the PDP in general.
But their plans have since failed! We therefore call on all
those who are behind this show of shame and advise them in the strongest terms
possible, to desist from such acts of cowardice, wickedness, preposterousness
and puerility as they blow no one any good wind.
We so call on all patriotic and well-meaning Nigerians to
ignore such reports and treat them as non-existent whether now or any other
time in the future. Mr. President is our leader and Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
holds him in very high esteem, accord him the respect he deserves and is very
proud to be associated and to have worked for him. The relationship between
these two great men remains cordial. No degree of campaign of calumny by
misguided elements can change this very fact.
