Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State has reacted to a
statement credited to the Media Director of the Peoples Democratic Party
Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.
Fani-Kayode had said in the statement that Governor Shettima, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Bughari (rtd) and the party’s spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed are not supportive of the federal government’s effort to release the kidnapped Chibok girls, instead he accused them of supporting the militant group, Boko Haram.
Speaking on behalf of the governor, his media aide, Malam Isa Gusau yesterday responded to the allegations while speaking with journalists in Abuja.
He described Fani-Kayode as “one Nigerian that is physically an adult but mentally an infant”, adding that, we all know that going into exchange with an infant is like having a dialogue with a blind, deaf and dumb”.
He continued, “This is why it is thoughtless for any serious minded person to exchange words with Femi Fani-Kayode not to talk of someone like Governor Kashim Shettima who has too many serious issues he is competently handling with patriotism which he was not only exonerated but also commended by a Presidential Fact-finding committee on the missing Chibok schoolgirls that was set up by the same Presidency Fani-Kayode works for.
And this in addition to the Governor being the one that secured admissions into an International school for the escaped Chibok schoolgirls and granted them scholarships, for which and other efforts, he is highly respected by those who know him or have come in contact with him in Nigeria and within the International community.
“We are not worried because it is only a matter of time, we are sure that in the near future, sooner than we probably expect, the same Femi Fani-Kayode will sing and dance ‘Fuji-gabe’ with praises for Governor Shettima, he will come to contradict what he said today and he will do so without the slightest shame because he has none.
“He is known for saying ‘A’ in the morning, ‘K’ in the afternoon and ‘Z’ at night, so we will wait for him to contradict himself and he will surely do so because that is him, he can’t avoid being who he is. We will not have any conversation with him”, Gusau concluded.
