Coup Allegation: Fani-Kayode Sends Message To Tinubu, APC Governors, Others

A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said a ‘thank you message’ to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and other party leaders who showed concern after his invitation by the Department of State Services (DSS).

Recall that Fani-Kayode, the Director of New Media Operations and Special Projects of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), was on Monday detained and grilled by the DSS over a coup allegation.

Fani-Kayode was made to face a panel of investigators that interviewed him on the allegation before he was granted administrative bail.

The former minister was, however, directed to make routine returns to the DSS with effect from Wednesday till otherwise while his investigation continues.

In a series of tweets via his Twitter handle on Tuesday, Fani-Kayode commended Tinubu, his running mate, Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, and the Director General of the Tinubu/Shettima PCC, and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong.

The former minister also appreciated some governors of the party and members of his committee who called him to show solidarity and support.

Fani-Kayode asserted that he was humbled and overwhelmed by the show of solidarity., adding that he got home safely after a six-hour interrogation and ordeal.

He wrote: “Many thanks to all who showed concern yesterday after my invitation by the DSS. Special thanks to our incoming Pres.@officialABAT, incoming Vice Pres. @KashimSM, Nat. Chairman of our party @OfficialAPCNg, Sen. Adamu Abdullahi, DG of the Tinubu/Shettima PCC, Gov. Simon Lalong.
