A few months after disparaging the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isah Pantami, former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has fiercely defended his attendance of the wedding of President Muhammadu Buahri’s son, Yusuf, in Kano on Friday where he was seen hobnobbing and taking pictures with Pantami.
Recall that last in April, in the heat of an allegation that Pantami was an open sympathizer of terrorist groups, Fani-Kayode, otherwise known as FFK, had come out firing from all cylinders, describing the Minister as a ‘Jihadist’ and supporter of killer insurgents in the country.
Among other things, FFK had labeled Pantami as not only a cold-blooded beast not fit to be a Minister of the Federal Republic, but that he is also not fit to walk our streets freely because he presents a grave danger to our people and our society.
However, when photos of himself and Pantami surfaced during the wedding, FFK did a volte-face and play the peacemaker, stating that politics is not war, but about “bridge-building”.
Taking to his Facebook page, the former Minister said he can be friends with his political enemies and anyone who has an issue with that can ‘go and die’.
“Politics is about bridge-building regardless of your differences. It is not war. You can be friends with your political adversary and still disagree”, he wrote.
