Press statement from Femi Fani-Kayode. Read below...

It has been brought to our attention that Premium Times, a popular Nigerian online magazine, has alleged that Chief Femi Fani-Kayode wrote the following words on his Facebook page- ''For rejecting Jonathan, Nigerians deserve Boko Haram''. This is false and, needless to say, Chief Fani-Kayode has never and would never say such a thing or harbor such a horrendous and heartless view.

For the last few years Chief Fani-Kayode has been one of the loudest and most strident voices against Boko Haram in Nigeria and he has continously and courageously condemned them. He has also continously expressed his grave concerns about the barbarity and sheer evil that they have unleashed on the Nigerian people and he has constantly expressed his condolences to and support for the families whose loved ones have been murdered by them over the years.

For Premium Times or anyone else to allege that Chief Fani-Kayode wrote that the Nigerian people ''deserve Boko Haram'' under any circumstances is not just mischievous but it is also irresponsible and malicious. It is a wicked lie which is designed to endanger the life and reputation of Chief Fani-Kayode and to subject him to public odium, ridicule, outrage and opprobium. We challenge anyone that doubts the veracity of our contention to go and read Chief Fani-Kayode's write-up on his Facebook wall because it is still there.

They should point out where President Jonathan's name was mentioned and they should also point out where he wrote that ''Nigerians deserve Boko Haram''. We urge our friends in the media to please check their sources properly before going to press and to quote people accurately.

They should also treat such matters in a thoroughly honest and professional manner and with the greatest sensitivity. Since yesterday night we have been inundated with calls from concerned Nigerians about this fake headline and we have had to go to great lengths to set the record straight. We appreciate the fact that the overwhelming majority of Nigerian media practitioners always adhere to the highest standards of ethics and practice but when things go wrong, for the sake of posterity, it is important to set the record straight.

Thank you''- Jude Ndukwe (Special Assistant to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode)


My original text on Boko Haram published on my facebook page
Anyone that honestly believed that a man who secretly shares the same vision and core principles of Boko Haram and who spent many years defending them can do anything but give them a free hand when he comes to power is living in cuckoo land.
I am not surprised by all the recent bombings and killings. I am not surprised by the resurgence of BH and their new found barbarity, courage and zeal. Military checkpoints have been removed from our roads so what do you expect?
Boko Haram suspects are now being kept in prisons in the eastern part of the country in order to ''spread the word'' and no less than 182 Boko Haram suspects were released on the Presidents orders just a few days ago. Is all this just a coincidence or is something that is dark and sinister now afoot in our country?
Whatever each of us may or may not believe, one thing is clear- that Boko Haram now have powerful friends and secret allies right at the epicenter of power and those friends and allies are running the affairs of the country.
There is a much wider picture unfolding here which the Nigerian people have yet to see and which they find difficult to accept, understand or comprehend. There is a hideous and frightful hidden agenda which is slowly manifesting before our very eyes. Though we warned them, the Nigerian people wanted "change" so they must live with the consequences of their choice.
One of those consequences is the new-found audacity, courage, growing power and rising strength of Boko Haram. Another is the resurgence of a clearly ethnic agenda which is designed to leave no-one in doubt about who really owns Nigeria and who the slaves are.

Another is the destruction and demystification of Bola Tinubu and his yoruba loyalists by his erstwhile northern allies in the APC. Only a fool did not see that one coming and I am rather surprised that Tinubu's followers are now crying foul and alleging that there is a northern conspiracy. Didnt they know that before? Were they not warned over and over again?
There are many other grave consequences which the Nigerian people will witness, in a most harrowing and frightful manner, in the next few months and years. May God deliver our people and our nation and may we learn to make the right choices.

Ok

I don't hear

Know why Nigerian didn't hesitate in believing FFK actually said that? Answer is the guy's mouth is a running tap. Even now, I still believe he said It. He just change mouth cause of the backlash. How many minutes to edit Facebook post?

Nigerians are still talking of Insecurity, permit me to remind you that Insecurity is just one of many isssues Nigerians are yearning for.

I still stick to giving this government 90 days to understand their policy direction. but if you ask me, its currently not promising.

When people ask me to give PMB time, i respond with, this guy had his eyez on this position for 12 years and its looking like he never prepared for the task ahead.

just watching

Hmmmm

This is what happens when a grown asss man is suffering from diahorrea of the mouth. Listen more and talkless mr olukayode because most times you come across as a little biatch. You are a man not a parrot !

When did an Igbo man became FFK spokesman?
Una don quickly forget Bianca and other Igbophobia statements of this man?

Anyway,
I've always known that he doesn't think before he talks.
All these damage control is too late.
He has spoken his mind, which is empty as usual.

Though we warned them, the Nigerian people
wanted "change" so they must live with the
consequences of their choice.




Stop all uttering Rubbish ur PDP will never ever return to Power in this Generation

Had it been u and ur clueless people fight the insurgence in ur invalid 6years the war would have been conquered

Now u want the new President to start Running like its a Fast and Furious tournament abi? Useless people

ffk no dey lie

FFK must be a crack addict to come out with this added insult to the intelligence of Nigerians.
He should go through his original post himself when d effects of his crack must have worn off and see if premiumtimes where wrong with the headline it adopted.
He said "Having voted in those that support BH and have affiliations with it who now are at the corridors of power,...Ngerians must live with the consequences of the change they voted".
What else can ffk have in mind and what other interpretation can be given to this statement other than that 'Nigerians deserve BH'.
He feels his life is threatened and he has been getting disturbing phone calls.He should have also thought of the lives he himself has put at risk by his statement because its capable of boistering BH elements and their sponsors knowing they have moral support from characters like FFK.
I keep repeating it:the recent spate of suicide attacks and bombings are not the sole brainchild of BH, but of bitter and loser politicians like d types of FFK who are giving BH either financial or moral support to carry out attacks to make d nation ungovernable so as to derail the PMB givt from its radical plans to correct the ills and corruption of the past.

Kastonkastroll:
If this ffk isn't arrested within this week for making that reckless statement and accusing the president in Chief of the armed forces of sponsoring boko haram attacks, then I will have a rethink over my support for Buhari......



#arrestffknow

Supported.
I don't know of others,but part of the reason I voted PMB was his integrity and no nonsense approach to issues having once been a military general.
I therefore expected him to come to power and take radical, drastic actions no matter whose ox was gored and on whose side of d political or ethnic divide the offender lies.
But I am seeing a PMB who seems to be too careful to take those actions, that he has allowed political charlatans and ethnic warlords to box him into a corner where they use their primordial affiliations to weep up sentiments against any move he makes.
For eg Ayo Fayose prevented bonafide indigenes of his state from accessing their state using thugs,he kept quiet.Wike has been freely carrying out barbaric actions in Rivers akin to impunity that the constitution didn't give him,the FG hasn't uttered a word. INEC commissioners in states like Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Delta in collusion with their state governors have been disobeying legitimate court orders and sometimes found to be altering electoral materials, nothing has been said by the FG.Just yesterday,Aregbesola inspired thugs disrupted protest by pensioners and yet no word.
There is no demoratic country in the world who because they are running a federal system allow state administrators to act with impunity and trample the rights of citizens and there is no president in the world who was elected to take easy decisions.Difficult decisions and actions have to be taken that in a multi cultural,multi political and multiethnic country like Nigeria, would be used by opponents to weep up sentiments,but they still end up being taken and carried out by a govt bent on changing d status quo for good.
That's how d great Malaysian leader was able to turn around his country to a corrupt free,economic powerhouse with obedience to laws and equal justice for all that Malaysia is today.
That is what I believe PMB can do for dis country,but he wouldn't succeed if he allows d likes of FFK to get away with heating up d polity,making totally nauseating and false accusations and politicians like him getting away with fraud cases by compromising law enforcement agencies.
PMB must step his foot down and hard because at d end of d day,there is no decision he takes that people wouldn't try to use against him,so why not take them,no matter how drastic and radical,otherwise miscreants,charlatans,political harlots and utterly corrupt individuals get emboldened daily to make his govt and the country ungovernable and remain in chaos.

Buhari is being too careful and his being very careful is what the country doesn't need now. The way and manner Buhari is allowing criminals like ffk to box him into a very tight corner is very unlike him. One thing I will always respect OBJ with is his no nonsense attitude, OBJ would have dealt with the likes of FFK without minding the consequences of his action... I just hope Buhari won't be "too careful and cautious" in his entire 4 years in power, because his being too careful right now is setting a very dangerous precedence for his administration... People are starting to see him as a very weak leader and people are already getting very comfortable with the status quo that the former president left

Enu orofo ni yio pa orofo

Can anybody disagree with what this man earlier said with facts?

Let's only hope and believe its the eerie quiet before the storm from him.

we are hoping my brother..

lol... A Muslim colleague of mind in the office told me that Buhari is kinda very soft with the boko haram madness because of his Ramadan fasting. I don't know how true is that though

Fani Kayode is known for talking before reasoning, don't know why Nigerians are taking him serious
