A
former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has said he was standing
with the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, in his declaration to run
as president in 2019 because he has immense courage.
He
also said, though, they come from different backgrounds and may not agree on
everything, they have a similar disposition.
In
a statement sent to Punch correspondent, the former Aviation Minister said, “We
come from completely different backgrounds and we do not agree on everything
but we have a similar disposition and we share the same perspective on most
things.
“He
is not bound up in fear and he is not chained down by political correctness. He
speaks the raw and bitter truth and he stands up for the weak and the
defenceless.
“Like
me he moves in the prophetic and his source of strength is the Spirit and power
of God.
“We
both love God and we are both men of strength, courage, faith and destiny.
“The
Spirit of David and Jehu runs through us both. We neither fear death nor
incarceration and we hate injustice, evil and oppression.
“The
truth is that he has done an excellent job in his Ekiti state and he has
consistently and fearlessly stood against the evil of the Buhari administration
and constantly kept them on their toes.
“He
is a Yorubaman who has the courage and conviction to say that he wants to be
President. Why would I not stand with him and attend the launching of his
campaign?”
Fani-Kayode
added that he believed that Fayose would make an excellent President and effect
the necessary changes and restructuring that the country desperately needed.
He
said he was very proud of Fayose and will never desert or abandon him.
“He
is and will always be my friend and brother,” he added.
