The Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress in Oyo State, Mr Rotimi Olumo, said the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode is doing the bid of his Northern paymasters.
Olumo said this on Wednesday in a statement while reacting to Fani-Fayode’s claim that the Fulani warlord, Iskilu Wakili, captured by OPC members on Sunday was not the real Wakili tormenting the people of Ibarapaland in Oyo State.
He said how can Fani-Kayode who lives in Abuja be the the first to refute the claim that the kidnapper was not Wakili?
He warned that the former minister should stop drumming the beat of disunity in Yorubaland.
The statement read, “Fani- Kayode is one of the politicians that thrive in telling lies. He has a reputation for using his social media page to foment trouble and cause disunity in Yorubaland. He had once said that Yoruba language was Anago. How can you take such a person too serious?
“I remember former President Olusegun Obasanjo once said that Fani-Kayode can do anything for money and survival.
“He lives in Abuja, romancing with the North, yet he was the first to refute the claim that the kidnapper was not Wakili. Where did he get his information?
“With his untenable claim, I know and I am sure that the former minister is doing the bid of his paymasters, who are majorly from the North. He is the undisputed spokesperson for any politician that is ready to feather his nest.
“He should be warned to stop drumming the beat of disunity in Yorubaland. Fani-Kayode was one of the few people that called and congratulated our leader, the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams on Monday, on the success of the operation of the OPC, and the following day, he twisted the story refuting the claim that the man apprehended wasn’t Wakili.”
Recall that the former minister had tweeted on Tuesday that the Wakili arrested by the OPC members, who is in police custody was not the real one killing and tormenting the people of Ibarapa.
