One of the biggest critics of Pres. Jonathan and his government visited
him at the Presidential Villa yesterday Tuesday April 8th for a
closed-door meeting.
Former
Minister of Aviation Femi Fani Kayo
de, who recently criticized his party APC in an article titled 'APC and the strange dream of Muslim/Muslim Ticket, (where he revealed an alleged plan by some people in the party to foist a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket on the party), refused to discuss why he went to see the president, telling the press...
"This
is a presidential villa, the president is a president of Nigeria every
single person in this country that is a Nigerian is entitled to come
here from time to time, when the doors are open to come and pay their
respect to the wonderful people that are here. As a Nigerian I have done
that today and I’m delighted to be here."
Oh now they are wonderful people? Lol. Biko continue...
"I have always believed
that every Nigerian regardless of the side of the political divide they
belong, and as a Nigerian myself I have believed that we disagree on an
issue from time to time. The most important thing is for us to be able
to resolve these issues and come together to move this country forward. And I
think every right thinking responsible person should be able to do
that. They should also be able to come to the villa from time to time
to see how they can help to move the country forward." Fani Kayode said
On if he is leaving APC, Femi Fani-Kayode said
“The step that I will take
will be made known to Nigerians at the right time. The most important
thing, and I think you are fully aware of this, is that I cannot and I
will not be associated with a situation whereby any group of people is
promoting a religion above another. I think all of us have gone past the
stage of religious politics in this country. We must treat the Muslim
community with utmost respect and we must that Christian community in
the same way and even the non-religious”
