Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, says it was
a challenging experience facing an investigation panel at the Department of
State Services (DSS) headquarters.
Fani-Kayode, director of new media in the All Progressives
Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, reported at the office of the
secret police on Monday after he was summoned.
The former minister was invited by the DSS for tweeting that
Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
met with some unnamed army generals.
Speaking with reporters at the national secretariat of the
APC in Abuja after meeting with agents of the secret police, he said at the
right time, the PDP presidential candidate would be invited for questioning.
“We have no choice
but to have confidence in the system, we have no other system and where to go.
By and large, the system works. Sometimes, it may not get it right but most of
the time, they get it right,” Fani-Kayode said.
“I appreciate the fact that when it comes to national
security we have to be careful for all our sakes, especially at a time like
this.
“I won’t criticise anybody at this time for doing their job.
It was extremely challenging for me at 62 to be confronted by a panel like that
of very strong young men. It was not an easy thing but we went through it.
“I issued a statement
about three or four days ago expressing my concern about some reports in the
media that suggested that Atiku Abubakar had some meetings with some generals
in the Nigerian military.
“Based on that, I now asked questions about what he was
doing and I suggest that it was possible, if true, that the most important
thing is that there is a wider script, a hidden agenda.”
The former minister is expected to report back at the DSS HQ
on Wednesday.
