Politics they say is about reciprocation. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu understands this to the core. But many wonder why one of the president Tinubu’s vociferous associates, Femi Fani Kayode popularly known as FFK is yet to be compensated with political appointment, just like his comrades who bore the brunt of one of the most controversial and emotion-laden elections in Nigerian political History.
LeadingReporters went underground and uncovered a shocker on why FFK may not be rewarded with any political appointment. To start with, according to a piece of insider information, President Ahmed Bola Tinubu hates to be associated with FFK, even now. He knows, just like most Nigerians that FFK acts like a Tuna fish that swims where the waves haul it. No sense of direction. No decency and no dependability.
“President Tinubu never trusted or liked FFK. FFK was foisted on him, and he warned those who presented FFK to him that left for him, he would not want FFK around him”. The source said.
How FFK was Presented to Tinubu:
In the build-up of the last presidential election, FFK was said to have been presented to Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the former media aide to former First Lady, Patience Jonathan. According to our insider information, Tinubu was said to have vehemently refused to work with FFK, citing a series of insults and vituperations FFK hauled on him. Patience Jonathan’s aide was said to have assured Tinubu that FFK would be needed be needed in his camp because not doing so may mean that another opponent may use FFK against him.
FFK to Be Drafted as Media Attacker
President Tinubu was told that if FFK is left as a political freelancer, he would do a lot of damage to Tinubu’s campaign. Tinubu insisted that he was not going to work with FFK, but if they felt that FFK was so good for the job, they should find a way to accommodate him in their team. He however left a warning “The guy is not a dependable ally”. FFK was then drafted as a media attacker with a mandate to attack, insult, and bully anyone with dissenting opinion. He was specifically instructed to attack any Christian leader who says anything against Tinubu candidacy.
How FFK cornered N5billion Campaign Fund with which he acquired three Jeeps a day
It was learnt that no sooner FFK was brought into the campaign team than he initiated a letter to some APC governors, requesting financial support to push Tinubu’s campaign. It was learned that FKK was able to mop up more than N5 billion, with Kogi State Governor, Yahaha Bello dolling out as much as N3 billion to FFK. FFK was said to have diverted the sum and other monies he received as campaign support with which he acquired for himself three Range Rover series, all in one day. This irked Tinubu who vowed that FFK should not be allowed one inch close to him for anything.
