Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaigns, Chief Femi Fani Kayode
By Chuks Okocha in Abuja
Outrage has continued to trail the newspaper advertorial placed by the
Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, stating that the All Progressives
Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari is
terminally ill and may soon die, as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
said that it does not represent the position of the party or the views
of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Disassociating PDP and the President from the controversial
advertisement, the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP
Presidential Campaigns, Chief Femi Fani Kayode said that the Ekiti state
governor does not speak for the President and PDP as a political party
and that the content of the advertisement does not represent the
position of the party.
According to Fani Kayode, "Governor, Ayo Fayose is a distinguish leader
of our party. A democratically elected governor and someone we have
immense respect and affection for and he released this advert in his own
name.
"That represents his own personal opinion which he is entitled to. That
is what I can tell you on our part as the Presidential campaign
organisation. It does not represent the opinion of the Presidential
Campaign Organisation or indeed the President, it is his opinion which
he is entitled to.
"I have spoken with him and we respect him but for any body to suggest
that this is the position of the presidential campaign organisation or
President Goodluck Jonathan, that will be most unfair. If we wanted to
say something like that, we will say it without any kind of apology but
of course, .. but of course we will never say that because we believe in
the sanctity of life and age is not a function of how long you will
live ..it is important that we recognize the fact that age is not an
indication of how long somebody will live."
