Femi Fani-Kayode Denies Saying ‘For Rejecting Jonathan, Nigerians Deserve Boko Haram’
Category: Nigerian National News
It has been brought to our attention that Premium Times, a
popular Nigerian online magazine, has alleged that Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode wrote the following words on his Facebook page - ''For
rejecting Jonathan, Nigerians deserve Boko Haram''. This is false and,
needless to say, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has never and would never say
such a thing or harbor such a horrendous and heartless view.
For the last few years Chief Fani-Kayode has been one of
the loudest and most strident voices against Boko Haram in Nigeria and
he has continously and courageously condemned them. He has also
continously expressed his grave concerns about the barbarity and sheer
evil that they have unleashed on the Nigerian people and he has
constantly expressed his condolences to and support for the families
whose loved ones have been murdered by them over the years.
For Premium Times or anyone else to allege that Chief
Fani-Kayode wrote that the Nigerian people ''deserve Boko Haram'' under
any circumstances is not just mischievous but it is also irresponsible
and malicious. It is a wicked lie which is designed to endanger the life
and reputation of Chief Fani-Kayode and to subject him to public odium,
ridicule, outrage and opprobium. We challenge anyone that doubts the
veracity of our contention to go and read Chief Fani-Kayode's write-up
on his Facebook wall because it is still there.
They should point out where President Jonathan's name was
mentioned and they should also point out where he wrote that ''Nigerians
deserve Boko Haram''. We urge our friends in the media to please check
their sources properly before going to press and to quote people
accurately. They should also treat such matters in a thoroughly honest
and professional manner and with the greatest sensitivity. Since
yesterday night we have been inundated with calls from concerned
Nigerians about this fake headline and we have had to go to great
lengths to set the record straight.
We appreciate the fact that the overwhelming majority of
Nigerian media practitioners always adhere to the highest standards of
ethics and practice but when things go wrong, for the sake of posterity,
it is important to set the record straight.
Thank you
Jude Ndukwe
(Special Assistant to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode)
