Must Read: Why Fani-Kayode Dumped APC -Tinubu Explains

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, has explained why the spokesperson of Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, left the APC for the ruling party.

According to the former Lagos state governor, Fani-Kayode is inconsistency and deceit, claiming that the former Minister of Aviation left the opposition party following his failure to realise his unstated ambition.

According to Tribune report, Tinubu made the statement through a statement released on Monday, March 16, 2015, by his media aide, Sunday Dare.
The statement stated that Fani-Kayode said certain things to the leaders of the opposition party about his current principal, which would not be disclosed.

While labelling the presidential spokesperson a habitual liar, Tinubu warned him to stop using the name of God in vain while attempting to demonise opposition figures,
He added that Fani-Kayode’s tongue might run him into problem with God.

The statement reads: “In his latest assault, Fani-Kayode has tried to deflect public attention away from the tricks and tactics the government is set to deploy in order to oppress and intimidate key APC figures during these final days before the March 28 election.
“He claims the government is not misusing the vehicles of state power to oppress the opposition. He then quotes Biblical verses to further claim that APC leaders are wicked.

“FFK should proceed carefully with the use to which he puts his tongue. Not every word a person speaks is a lark that evaporates the moment after its expression. He must be careful for he does not mock man, he mocks a higher power and should be wary of his excesses in this regard. 

It was roughly a year ago that FFK tried to join the APC. In attempting to ingratiate himself, he spewed endless venom against his current boss.
“Because we knew him, we held him at arm’s length. The man is willing to say anything for a taste of power and to wiggle his way into some office or another. When he saw the door closed to him, he predictably bolted.

“His exit remains our gain.
“History will mark it as a key point in the development of the APC.
“If you doubt what I say, review carefully FFK’s statement why he returned to the PDP. It is an epistle of deceit.”


It would be recalled that Tinubu had last weekend explained how he played a major role in the victory of President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2011 general elections.

According to The Sun, Tinubu made this statement on Saturday, March 14, during the Ndigbo APC governorship rally held at the Onikan Stadium in La­gos.

“In 2011, I helped Jonathan become President because he made us believe he was a breath of fresh air. I didn’t say be­cause he was from Bayelsa that I would not help him. We voted for him because he promised to make our lives better. But now, he has failed us,” he said.
