The Progressive
Lawyers for Osinbajo, a group of legal practitioners, has criticised Femi
Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, over his recent article on
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
In a statement on Monday, the group accused Fani-Kayode of
recanting his advocacy against the Muslim-Muslim ticket, adding that the former
minister had kicked against such ticket in the past.
In a recent
article titled ‘Yemi Osinbajo, Bola Tinubu and
Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral’, Fani-Kayode had called on Vice-President Yemi
Osinbajo to support the ambition of Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the
APC.
The former minister had also said Osinbajo should support Tinubu since the latter is a “mentor and benefactor” to the vice-president.
Speaking on the article in a statement on Monday, the group
said Fani-Kayode’s attempts to credit Osinbajo’s successes to Tinubu were
misleading.
“As against the uninformed thought of FFK, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo came from an enviable pedigree, his life records are open to the
public; they are not questionable, including having served as Special Adviser
to the Attorney-General of the Federation in 1988,” the group’s statement
reads.
“Fani-Kayode is now talking about Absalom, but what about
him completely denying and betraying his own faith. Is that not a worse story
of Judas?
“We don’t now know
which version of FFK to believe or which is the real or fake. This is what
social duplicity means and the unstable public commentator called Fani-Kayode
is the best expression of a political chameleon. We demand he apologises to
Nigerians for his crooked manifestation of tomfoolery.
“This is a trait that FFK has prepared to fail in his
assignment as director in the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.
“That article was in no form a special and well thought-out
project. It is simply to brew intraparty rancour that can destroy the chances
of the party in the 2023 presidential election.”
