Watch Your Back! Tinubu Advises Jonathan On Fani-Kayode

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Bola Tinubu has given a rare advise to President Goodluck
Jonathan, saying the PDP presidential aspirant should be
wary of Femi Fani-Kayode, spokesperson of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP presidential campaign organisation,
tagging him a “chameleon on a spinning wheel of many
colours”. This Day reported.
Bola Tinubu, while speaking through Mr Sunday Dare, his
Special Adviser, Tinubu said, ”The things that FFK (Fani-
Kayode) said to us about Jonathan in private will remain
private. But Jonathan would be wise to watch his back
whenever he is dealing with this bugle for hire. The man
has changed position so many times that he must feel like
a tired chameleon on a spinning wheel of many colors. He
is confused what colour he should be. The only thing he
knows is that he will soon change hue again.
”Those of us in the APC know him for what he is. It was
roughly a year ago that FFK tried to join the APC. In
attempting to integrate himself, he spewed endless venom
against his current boss. Because we knew him, we held
him at arm’s length.
”The man is willing to say anything for a taste of power and
to wiggle his way into some office or another. When he saw
the door closed to him, he predictably bolted. His exit
remains our gain. History will mark it as a key point in the
development of the APC. If you doubt what I say, review
carefully FFK’s statement on why he returned to the PDP, it
is an epistle of deceit. Examine its allegations. He lists
several purported statements made by APC figures that
allegedly soured him on the party.
”His allegations against the party members are inaccurate.
Here, the dates of the alleged statements are more than the
purported content that are important. By his own
admission, every alleged statement he attributed to an APC
figure took place before FFK tried to join the party. A
consummate media hound, he must have been aware of the
so-called offensive statements prior to seeking space
under the APC banner.
”The statements did not deter him from joining. They also
were not the reason he departed. He left because, although
a fledging party, we were wise enough not to give him a
position of importance. He did not leave because he feared
the APC would lead him astray. He left because we did not
give him the chance to lead us astray.
”Soon enough, Fani-Kayode will discover that in the new
Nigeria and in the responsible government to come, his
tawdry skills will not be required. He can then go home and
look in the mirror to see what he has made of himself”.
”FFK should proceed carefully with the use to which he puts
his tongue. Not every word a person speaks is a lark that
evaporates the moment after its expression.
FFK ropes his tongue in danger when he, of all people, uses
the Bible to ridicule others. He must be careful for he does
not mock man. He mocks a Higher Power and should be
wary of his excesses in this regard.
”When FFK looks in the mirror he thinks he sees a man who
should be Pope. Instead, what he should see is a man
guilty of more public lies than any Nigerian of his
generation. Perhaps FFK can delude himself because his
memory is short while his ambition is long. His hope is that
our memories are even shorter. Here he is wrong again”.
