Fani Kayode is coming! Lai Mohammed goes! By going! Faded away?

Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani Kayode, replaces Lai Mohammed, Nigerian Minister of Information in a decision, I am told, involving four APC governors d extraction from the north, which his friends in the APC want to use to give President Muhammadu Buhari a more robust acid defense before 2023.

In the thoughts of those preparing to hoist Fani Kayode into Nigeria’s news space, it can also be used to replace President Buhari’s Special Media Advisor Femi Adesina or Senior Special Media Assistant. , Garba Shehu while these men will be redeployed to new missions. .

According to a source close to one of the “brother” governor of Fani Kayode, the new cabinet reshuffle that President Buhari is expected to announce soon will reorganize the information management system of the presidency. The intrigue is that if the resistance to his nomination becomes too strong, a public space will be created for him.

The decision to bring in Fani Kayode is also to pave the way for the decamping of ex-President Jonathan, who in their secret calculations will face barrages of slander campaign from both the Tinubu camp of the APC. and vocal propaganda from Atiku’s base, Wike PDP. . They believe that an acid-looking man like Fani Kayode will do justice to all the criticism that Buhari and Jonathan will face in preparing for the 2023 election.

Some party leaders in possession of this plot are already opposing it, claiming that Fani-Kayode is more of a handicap than an asset. A party leader who asked me for my opinion was shocked by my response.

With probably Lai Mohammed sidelined in information management, those who called him a liar will soon see a new turn of disinformation. A few weeks ago, members of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria PFN clergy called me and complained about Garba Shehu whom they accused of spitting out garbage. In Abuja, many clerics of Christian origin also described Femi Adesina as a saleswoman who once sold Jesus Christ to Islam despite being a pastor. I have variously explained to the clergy concerned that the job of defending a sitting president in Nigeria is never acceptable. . Already, the forces within Government House Ilorin are already gloating at the prospect of pushing back the intrusive “Lai Mohammed” of political relevance.

Yesterday I told some clerics complaining about Lai Mohammed, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu to wait for FANI Kayode to take over the information management work in any capacity and they will be too speechless to complain again.

Vintage Fani Kayode will curse, fight, scream, quarrel and deploy police, DSS as part of their duty. His penchant for using the police and DSS to settle a minor household feud will be brought into the fray. He will argue ridiculously and fabricate the unthinkable in the defense of his master. By the time he takes over the information management space, sensible people will want Lai Mohammed, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu to continue their missions.

Personally, I do not believe that Lai Mohammed is a liar as many religious and activists have told me. I also do not believe that Femi Adesina sold Jesus Christ because of his letters defending Buhari, nor that Garba Shehu is pursuing any Islamic program. These men did not handle Buhari’s information any more badly than Professor Jerry Gana, Dr Doyin Okupe, Ms Remi Oyo, Dr Segun Adeniyi or Reuben Abati. They used almost the same model of the Obasanjo years in their information management. The only exception will be Fani Kayode, he will be too vitriolic and acidic, employing almost the same tactics of his godson Nnamdi Kanu, whom he abandoned in DSS cell, to have dinner with Pantami, Akume, Orji Kalu and all the APC politicians of the city. , the same enemies they criticized most recently.

When he was Obasanjo’s media assistant, he abused famous novelist Chinua Achebe for rejecting the ex-president’s CFR National Award, and accused him of being unworthy. He took Buhari’s certificate saga to a ridiculous level in 2015, mockingly suggesting that northerners have no degrees. This excessive swelling of the certificates scandal made former President Babangida question why a man who visited Sandhurst Colege UK would be considered without a certificate. He decided to change support for Buhari in order to protect the integrity of northern educational standards. The change by IBB also contributed to the Buhari campaign.

Fani Kayode once said that Buhari is evil, wicked, demon, satanic and should rot in hell forever. He has repeatedly described him as an Islamic terrorist, bloodsucker, sick, dead and corrupt. Soon, the people who will be so described will be the opposition a, including the elements of the opposition within the APC.

Although he has urged the IPOB faithful to regard Buhari as an evil, a villain, an anti-Igbo and to push thousands of IPOB youth to take up arms against the security agencies, he will soon do about-face and will reserve the worst words for Kanu, Igbogho and the followers of Biafra, Yoruba secessionists. Lai Mohammed, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu can never be bestial in their defense or attack against anyone.

I don’t care if they ask Fani Kayode to become a minister in Buhari’s government. Just as Governor El-Rufai said, those who recruited him for APC know their game plan and Buhari who forgave him also has his own dispositions, however, I have already expressed my views on his defection in the article titled ‘The Betrayal of Fani-Kayode and IPOB’s Naivety and Pantami’s Porridge’ and a follow-up titled ‘Fani Kayode, Pantami’s Soup Pot and Christian Evangelism’ where I expressed disgust that a man who pushed the Igbo youth to hate Buhari, Fulani, Hausa, Islam and everything in the North dines with the the same people he made Igbo Youth hate. I can’t understand why a man who pushed Nnamdi Kanu to the DSS guard will dine with the enemies of the IPOB.

Let FFK not manage the information space. I express it as a sympathizer of Buharist and APC, they can send it to the Ministry of Disaster Management to deal with IDP camps or Nigeria Ports Authority NPA to decongest ports or the ministry du Travail to face and fight with striking doctors and lecturers. . Some Aviation Ministry staff said that although he exerted his influence as a minister, he showed certain levels of skill.

I would like to warn that the mouth of Fani Kayode can cause civil war. This can cause social unrest. Those who insist on hoisting Fani Kayode on our information space should be wary. I advise those considering replacing Lai Mohammed with Fani Kayode to seek another date for him – Nigeria is too on the brink of civil war to afford the acidic vitrolics of Fani-Kaode.
