The Osinbajo Support Movement (OSM) has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council to call Chief Femi Fani-Kayode to order.
According to the pro-Osinbajo group, recent comments made by the former minister of aviation on Osinbajo while speaking to a TV station are unacceptable.
Fani-Kayode is one of the spokespersons of the ruling party’s presidential campaign council.
In a statement sent to Legit.ng on Sunday, December 11 and signed by its director of media and publicity, Babatunde Adejuwon, the OSM stated that:
“It is troubling to read from a piece of insidious deposition from former minister, Femi Fani Kayode concerning his comments and criticism of His Excellency, Prof Yemi Osinbajo and reasons attributed to it.
“Nigerians of all calling and gender hold His Excellency in utmost regards, and unstable and hugely distorted characters like FFK would not be allowed to spew gibberish and to go scot free with such.
“It is an insult to commonsense for Mr Femi Fani Kayode to claim on Channels TV that he unleashed rounds of baseless and thoughtless criticism on the VP because he failed to protect the ‘rights of Christians’.
“This is far from the truth and a deliberately dishonest attempt at being upright.
“FFK does not have the authority in any sense to address the vice president in such uncouth and denigrating manner, his present role under the presidential campaign council of the APC or his previous assignments under PDP with no real records of accomplishments not withstanding
“OSM ask the APC PCC to call him to order. We want to believe he is not running such errands on behalf of the council, but in the interest of his relentless pursuits to fill his belly and satisfy his band of unthinking apologists.”
The group noted that VP Osinbajo is a respected gentleman who Nigerians holds dearly, adding that FFK and his co-travelers should seek caution and face their assigned roles as required of them.
The OSM added:
“Any further attempt to soil the VP’s name from FFK or his illks will be treated as an attack on the presidency of Nigeria and such will not be taken lightly.
“We call on all men of honour and integrity to stand for the for the truth always and stand firm against evil intentioned persons like FFK whose only interests are located in their abdominal cavities and bank accounts.”
2023: APC selling comedy of blunders, party chieftain says, dumps Tinubu
Meanwhile, Chief Ray Morphy, a chieftain of the APC from Cross River state, has left the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Rejecting APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, Chief Morphy, a former special adviser to the party’s former national chairman, Chief John Oyegun, said the country deserves more than the comedy of gaffes APC is trying to sell to Nigerians.
Morphy, a leader in the party’s presidential campaign council in 2019, was also a pioneer member of The Buhari Organisation.
2023: Everything about Bola Tinubu is controversial, says Dino Melaye
On his part, a spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, Senator Dino Melaye, has claimed that everything surrounding Tinubu is controversial.
Melaye stated that this is contrary to the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, whose public profile is clean and in the public domain.
Speaking on Channels Television Politics Today on Thursday, December 1, Melaye claimed that the PDP presidential flag bearer has a verifiable historical background, unlike Tinubu.
