Fani Kayode Is Out To Destroy Buhari – COPYA

Youths on the platform of Concerned O’oduwa Progressive Youth Assembly (COPYA) have accused former minister of aviation, Femi Fani Kayode of trying to destroy the cordial relationship between President Muhammadu Buhari and his vice, Prof Yemi Osinbajo.

In a statement made available to Pulse, the group said the verbal attacks on the presidency by Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) “does not show that he is a true Yoruba man, which he claims to be.”

Fani-Kayode had in the recent times described Osinbanjo as a ‘slave to dark and shameless cabal’ in Aso Rock.

“We have a Vice President who has been held captive and who is now a slave to some dark, sinister, evil and shameless cabal,” Fani-Kayode once wrote in an article.

According to the statement signed by Kola Salawu, the national coordinator of COPYA, said Fani-Kayode’s campaign is targeted on driving a wedge between the smooth running relationship between Osinbajo and his boss who are currently enjoying the best of relationship.

The statement reads:
“You might have known Femi Fani-Kayode as the former Minister of Aviation that is currently scurrying from one court to another over cases of graft brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“The alleged crimes date as far back as when he was in office as an appointee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He is someone who had the benefit of being in office courtesy of a political party which blatantly stated that ‘stealing is not corruption’.

“The Acting President must not heed the call for war being chorused by this rubble and must not allow himself to be dragged into dirty politics at the detriment of his spiritual and professional calling as an accomplished Nigerian before venturing into politics.

“If FFK truly has the interest of the Yoruba race at heart, he should immediately declare a ceasefire on issues pertaining to the President’s health and surrender to the supremacy of Tinubu as the leader of the Yoruba nation as far as Nigerian politics is concerned. He has unequivocally demanded a ceasefire from all peace-loving Yoruba sons and daughters in the media and holding other assets of propaganda.

“We demand that Femi Fani-Kayode and his likes immediately withdraw the call for war in the interest of the country’s peace and unity,” the statement added.
