The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has defended Femi Fani-Kayode against the accusation levelled against him by Ben Llewellyn-Jones, the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Nigeria Info FM on Sunday, the UK envoy disclosed that 10 people were on its watchlist for visa bans.<\/p>\n

He asserted that those on the list were those who allegedly threatened Nigeria’s democracy.<\/p>\n

He charged Fani-Kayode, the director of new media for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, with making disparaging remarks.<\/p>\n

MURIC responded to the situation by asserting that Llewellyn-Jones singled out Fani Kayode for derogatory name-dropping.<\/p>\n

MURIC spoke through its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Tuesday, 28th March 2023.<\/p>\n

The statement reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Ben Llewellyn-Jones, yesterday accused Chief Fani Kayode of making derogatory remarks. The latter has reacted by accusing the diplomat of interfering in the internal politics of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cLlewellyn-Jones was quoted as saying, \u2018Yes, let\u2019s be specific, there were some people, like Femi Fani-Kayode, what is he saying and why is he saying it? I don\u2019t understand.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are of the opinion that Mr. Llewellyn-Jones failed to look at the big picture. He assessed the situation from very narrow confines and singled out Fani Kayode for uncomplimentary name-dropping. He can do better than that. The Briton definitely breached diplomatic decorum by mentioning Fani Kayode\u2019s name in that manner. It is not done.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe diplomat would have found dozens of politicians who used worse words before and during the 2023 general elections. By the way, as the spokesperson of a ruling party whose opponents were firing from all cylinders, a ruling party that was facing verbal halitosis and receiving vitriolic and odoriferous diatribes, Fani Kayode would be failing in his duties if he had kept mum.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo that extent, therefore, what the diplomat had done with his unsolicited intervention amounts to holding the hands of one person while his adversary continues to rain blows on him. What Llewellyn-Jones should have done was to generalize without mentioning names.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Llewellyn-Jones exposed the contradictions in his approach when he revealed that British diplomatic laws prevented him from mentioning the names of those five to ten people who have been placed on visa ban. He said, \u2018We have a list, we are working through our list but we don\u2019t publish those names. I know people say we should, but we have laws, and the law prevents us from doing that.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question is why did he mention Fani Kayode\u2019s name<\/a> if the law prevents it? James Cleverly, the British Foreign Secretary should be interested in this angle.<\/p>\n

\u201cDitto for his veiled criticism of Fani Kayode\u2019s party, the All Progressives Congress about which the diplomat said, \u2018It is wrong from my perspective that he will speak on behalf of a party and that party does not distance itself from him and say stop doing that. It is wrong to say that.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Muslim Rights Concern is concerned and greatly miffed by this particular statement because this is the party that produced a Muslim-Muslim ticket. We are much interested in that terrain if this is where the British dbritishiplomat is coming from. Otherwise, why will a diplomat single out one party for the orphanage out of eighteen others that contested the general elections?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is quite obvious that Ben Llewellyn-Jones is yet to understand the political culture of Nigeria which is still undefined, unrefined and full of field mines. Ben has no moral right to pick holes in the way political parties are run in Nigeria when party leaders assemble in Downing Street during COVID-19 to wine, dine and hobnob when commoners were told to lockdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe advise Nigerian politicians to stop dignifying foreign institutions unnecessarily. This is what we get for belittling ourselves. We asked for it. The rush for speeches at Chatham House must stop. Who did this to Nigeria? When will this colonial mentality stop? There are equally befitting centers where our manifestos can be revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMURIC commends Chief Fani Kayode for calling the bluff of the British diplomat. For how long must Africans kowtow to the poohpooh of imperialists? It is demeaning to be threatened with visa ban the way kindergartens are threatened with non-supply of snacks and sweets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
