APC using my outdated views on President Jonathan to attack me, Fani Kayode cries out

 The Director of Media of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO), Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has castigated the All Progressives Congress (APC) for relying on renounced and outdated views on President Goodluck Jonathan to run its newspaper campaign advertorials.

 He said in a statement issued in Abuja, that the opposition’s attitude smacked of desperation.

 Fani-Kayode said the resort to such “childish and dirty tactics” by the APC would not distract him from his present assignment of selling the candidature of President Jonathan to the electorate and Nigerians.

 He said, “The APC has resorted to buying full page adverts of outdated quotes about President Goodluck Jonathan from old essays written by me when I was in their ranks. This proves the measure of their desperation. Needless to say I renounced those views about President Jonathan, long ago and since then I have returned to the PDP and have given my unflinching support both to him, and the party.

“I shall continue to do so because I regard the APC as an evil party and their presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari as incapable and unfit to rule our country.

“All the old and outdated quotes in the world cannot change that and I shall not be deterred or distracted from my present assignment by such childish tactics.

“One wonders whether the APC has forgotten what Nasir El Rufai once said about General Buhari being “outdated and unelectable” and what Bola Tinubu once said about Buhari being “obsessed with power, wicked, sadistic and unreliable.

“Better still, have they forgotten what Buhari himself once said about Bola Tinubu and his Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) governors as being “corrupt, treacherous, unstable and unreliable’?

“Clearly the APC has an obsession with me and my words (past, present or future) and let me assure them that I shall continue to focus on them over the next two weeks, regardless of their paid television and newspaper adverts about me.

“I shall continue to expose them and at the same time, I shall continue to intimate our people about the excellent work that Mr President and the PDP have been doing over the last few months and years, and why I believe that he deserves a second term.”
