Fani-Kayode has no apology for his campaign attacks on Buhari

by Kolapo Olapoju

Femi Fani-Kayode, says the campaign of calumny directed at President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, during the presidential campaign, was nothing personal.

According to the Director-General of the PDP’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, it is ‘arrant nonsense’ for people to say that the hate campaign against Buhari cost Jonathan the election.

Fani-Kayode also lambasted member of the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, saying they lacked the guts to do what himself and Ayo Fayose did during the election.

“That is arrant nonsense and those in the NWC that said so are cowards and turncoats. They are traitors and they are working for the enemy. Did these so-called party leaders complain when Jonathan was attacked by the APC and Lai Mohammed every day? I find it strange that they are prepared to accept the personal attacks on their own candidate as being acceptable yet they complain when we attack the candidate of the other side.”

“Whose side are these people really on? Fayose was not the only one that focused his attention on Buhari. Many of us did because Buhari was the issue for us and everything about him became relevant. In the same vein, for the APC, Jonathan was the issue and they focused their guns on him.”

“We did not complain and cry about it like little children; instead we returned fire and responded forcefully. We have no apology for that and we believe that we spoke nothing but the truth and we backed up our assertions with facts and figures. We didn’t just talk but we did our research. We were effective.”

“We have nothing against Buhari but we had a job to do and we did it as best as we could. Those who lacked the guts, the finesse and the capacity to do the job should stop whining and  should learn from those of us who are capable of doing it and  are prepared to do it for the sake of our President, our party and our country. It is unfortunate that some members of the NWC are pointing fingers and making accusations and counter allegations against senior party leaders after we lost the elections.”

“They are more to blame for our defeat than anyone else. After losing the elections, the right thing to do is for us to do soul-searching, look within, indulge in sober reflection and serious introspection, maintain some sense of self-respect and dignity, refuse to defect to the other side and desist from giving the other side ammunition to fight us in future.”
