Fani-Kayode knocks Osinbajo for denying ‘political jobbers’ comment

Erstwhile Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has knocked Acting President Yemi Osinbajo hard, describing him as a sick person whose nightmare has only begun.

The former minister stated this in response to Osinbajo’s denial that he described those demanding for the restructuring of Nigeria as “political jobbers”.

Osinbajo had in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Laolu Akande, denied reports quoting Chief Ayo Adebanjo as saying he tagged those agitating for restructuring as political jobbers.

The statement had read, “At no time did the Acting President say that those asking for restructuring were political jobbers looking for appointments. The video, audio tapes and full text of his speech at the National Security summit organised last week by the Department of State Services (DSS) are publicly available.”

But reacting on his twitter handle, Fani-Kayode tweeted, “Osinbajo now says that he never said that those that wanted restructuring are political jobbers. Seriously? Does anyone take this short and deceitful little imps comments seriously anymore?

“He never said what he clearly said? The man is sick.His nightmare has just started.”
Fani-Kayode stated in series of other tweets, “I respect Atiku. He supports restructuring and has warned about the looming genocide of Igbos in the north. He understands our challenges.

“The brutalisation of Charly Boy Oputa, Adeyanju Deji and other patriots by security forces for asking about Buhari’s health is unacceptable.”
