Kayode, says his closed-door meeting with
President Goodluck Jonathan at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday has
earned him insults.
Fani-Kayode, an ardent critic of the President,
laments on Wednesday, that what transpired
at the meeting had been the subject of so
much "online speculation". Writing on his
Facebook page, he insists that he has a right
to pay a courtesy visit to Jonathan, just as
governors who belong to the opposition APC
do.
Reacting to the Muslim/Muslim presidential
ticket saga in APC, Fani-Kayode said:
"What I have said is very simple and
clear. I will say nothing until I am ready.
Let those that are insulting me and
making assumptions continue to do so.
That, in itself, tells me a lot."
He added that he aligns himself with the
opinion of one of his friends, Biodun Ishola-
Ladepo, who he quotes as saying, "If I were
Femi Fani-Kayode and my party planned to
field a Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket,
especially in the age of Boko Haram, I would
bolt faster than Hussein Bolt."
Fani-Kayode says he is glad that "someone is
seeing things clearly", adding that he wants
the leadership of the party to break its
"silence" on the issue.
"This is not about leaving parties but about
principle. Let us hope that the leadership of
the APC sees it fit to clarify this matter at the
soonest and assure us all that they will do no
such thing. Their silence on the matter and
their refusal to rule it out is simply fuelling
more speculation and dissent from within," he
adds.
Meanwhile, Fani-Kayode continue to receive
criticisms as a result of his comments at the
Presidential Villa.
