The
picture of a handful of APC governors and President Muhammadu Buhari, which was
purportedly taken in London on Sunday, is old and fake, ex-Aviation Minister
and Buhari’s unsparing critic, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said.
In
an article currently circulating on the web, Fani-Kayode said he was “reliably
informed that (the photo) was taken during a Ramadan (celebration) in Abuja
sometime back and not yesterday (Sunday) in London.”
He
also noted that though the photograph was meant to have been taken in London, “curiously,
all the drinks on the table are Nigerian products and Nigerian-made.”
“Did
the governors take all those drinks along with them to London when they went to
see the President?” Fani-Kayode asked.
He
also asked to know if President Buhari was no longer returning anytime soon, as
claimed by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and some government officials who, he
noted, “recently told us that he (Buhari) would be back on the 28th of July.”
He
described the photograph and the governors’ visit as “puerile and nauseating
conspiracy.”
Reminding
the nation about President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement at his inauguration
where he said “I belong to all,” Fani-Kayode wrote, “We do not wish the
President dead; but we have a right to know the truth.
“As
a matter of fact, we demand to know that truth because, as he once said
himself, he ‘belongs to us all.’”
Expressing
doubts about the much reported meeting, Fani-Kayode asked why the Nigerian and
foreign media were not allowed to cover the proceedings and participate in the
event.
He
also wondered why the Villa press corps did not take one of their own cameramen
to London and make a short video of the event.
He
would also want to know why President Buhari was not recorded on audio tape and
interviewed while he was with his guests.
He
said that Governor Rochas Okorocha’s statement could not be believed for all of
the reasons he (Fani-Kayode) had stated.
