Fani-Kayode ready to DSS questions on ‘coup’ allegations

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode said he is ready to face the Department of State Services (DSS) grilling concerning his allegation that the military was planning a coup with the People’s Democratic Party candidate Abubakar Atiku. Fani-Kayode who is director of special projects for the All Progressives Congress campaign council was invited by the DSS to explain his comments. He said in a statement made available to the newsmen on Monday. “I am used to arrests, interrogation, detention, prosecution and so much more and have suffered these indignities on many occasions over the last 15 years. “For the record, I have said or done nothing wrong or that I should not have said or done and I stand by everything that I have said or written in the past on all issues. “It is not a crime to express my concerns about the despicable activities of Atiku who, in my view, has a hidden agenda and who is so desperate for power that he is prepared to do anything and turn the whole country upside down in order to achieve it. “I maintain my utter contempt for Atiku and the vermin that are around him and no matter what happens to me today or at any other time, know that as long as there is life in me, I will oppose the darkness and evil that they represent. “Unlike cowards like Emefiele, Atiku and their strange bedfellows I do not fear my own shadow and neither do I shiver and shake when I am invited by the security agencies. I always honour their invitations when properly invited because that is the right and proper thing to do. “I found it interesting that a call came from one of Atiku’s dogs for me to be arrested by the security agencies on Sunday and had it not been for the fact that the DSS had actually sent a text to me two days earlier I may have thought that they were acting on the instructions of what can only be described as a hopeless and desperate presidential candidate, opposition party and PCC who are clutching at straws, drowning fast, seeking to silence those that give them sleepless nights, shivering in despair and staring defeat in the face in the upcoming presidential election.”
