The verbal assaults between Femi Fani-Kayode, director of
media and publicity for the PDP presidential campaign organisation, and members
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) took a new turn on Monday.
Reacting to the criticisms directed at him for insinuating
that Yemi osibanjo, the running mate to APC’s presidential candidate, was
planning to step down for Bola Tinubu, Fani-Kayode pointed accusing fingers at
Tinubu over the death of Funsho Williams.
Williams, a gubernatorial candidate in Lagos, was murdered
under controversial circumstances on July 27, 2006. “I do not believe in
violence and I do not threaten people neither do any of my boys or any of those
behind me,” Fani-Kayode wrote on Facebook. “Tinubu should not start this. I am
not Funso Williams. I cannot be killed like a chicken. I cannot be destroyed. I
cannot be taken before my time.
My name is Femi Fani-Kayode, and nobody can kill me before
my time. Nobody can cut me short. “I harbor no fear of violence but I do not
take threats lightly. Neither do I fear for my life; because I have never shed
innocent blood and because I do not believe in violence or worship the devil,
the angel of the Lord will strike dead any person or any group of persons that
seek to take my life or the life of any of my loved ones.”
