APC leader says Fani-Kayode is disturbed

Tinubu described Fani-Kayode as a liar who was hired to conduct an smear campaign against the APC.

The leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has spoken out on recent allegations made concerning him by the spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign organization, Femi Fani-Kayode.

Tinubu described Fani-Kayode as a liar who was hired to conduct an smear campaign against the APC.

The APC leader’s comments were contained in a statement released on Sunday, March 1, by his media aide, Sunday Dare.

“Fani-Kayode is not as smart as he thinks.  If you read between the lines of his hysteria you see another extreme sentiment: that of surging desperation,” Tinubu said.

“His statement indicates that even he now realizes that his pay master has lost to Buhari/Osinbajo. The game is over. The whistle has blown. What the fantasy man seeks to do is change the game. He seeks to run against Tinubu in hopes the outcome will be better. Fani now grasps at straw in the night wind,” he added.

“His statement taken in context indicates that his paymasters will lose the election. They are now worried about what will happen thereafter. That FFK (Femi Fani-Kayode) is the best a ruling party can do as a spokesman speaks volumes about the PDP.  They are bereft of talent and character. They are filled with lies and chicanery. FFK is simply the worst and most outspoken of a bad lot,” he continued.

Tinubu also said that instead of scaring people away from the APC, Fani-Kayode’s tirades were only a pointer to the virtues of the PDP.

“Instead of scaring the people away from the APC, his work scares people that someone so unfit is so close to the seat of power, someone so unhinged is given free rein to spit bile and call that public discourse. One must wonder who is unbalanced, the misfit or he who hires him. Keep at it FFK. Continue,” Tinubu said.

Fani-Kayode has accused Tinubu of plotting to become President ‘through the back door’ by choosing an ailing Presidential candidate (Muhammadu Buhari) and a stooge as Vice-Presidential candidate (Yemi Osinbajo).
