How Fani-Kayode sold Igboho, Kanu – Omokri blows hot

Nigerian socio-political activist, Reno Omokri has accused former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode of “selling” Nnamdi Kanu, pro-Biafra activist, and Sunday Igboho, Yoruba nation agitator, following his defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Omokri claimed that Fani-Kayode sold Kanu and Igbo for ’30 pieces of silver’.

He wondered why Fani-Kayode joined the APC following the prosecution of Kanu and Igboho by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.

The ex-aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, in a series of tweets, likened Fani-Kayode to the biblical ‘Judas Iscariot’.

He wrote: “The PDP lost FFK and gained @ShehuSani. I would say that is like Manchester United losing Sergio Romero and gaining Cristiano Ronaldo. That is a net gain. A net gain indeed! Congratulations PDP! Congratulations Shehu Sani!

“You say you are a friend of Sunday Igboho. You called him your brother. You called Nnamdi Kanu your “friend and brother” and one of the most courageous persons you know.

“You see what this demon in human flesh is doing to these freedom fighters, yet you do this? It makes me suspicious.

“How can these two people who were close to you and who confided in you, end up in Buhari’s trap and then you join his party? This looks like 30 pieces of silver! At this point, I would very much hate to be your friend and brother.”

Though Femi Fani-Kayode was a member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, he was with the opposition’s All Progressive Congress until June 2014 when he returned to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.
