I Still Hold President Jonathan in High Esteem- Fani-Kayode….Clear Issues on Circulated Publication
LAGOS APRIL 5TH (URHOBOTODAY)-The Director-General of President Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has reiterated that he still hold President Goodluck Jonathan in high esteem and there is no way he would had described the President as leaving a legacy of ‘destruction and disaster.
Putting the record straight once and for all over a publication titled, “Fani-Kayode blasts Jonathan, says President is leaving legacy of ‘destruction and disaster’”, being circulated in the social media, Fani – Kayode in statement signed by his Special Assistant (SA), Mr Jude Ndukwe made available to Urhobotoday an online medium recalled, “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).”
According to the statement, “ The report does not, in any way, represent Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s opinion of President Jonathan whom he holds in 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 also 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.”
