The director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has written to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its spokesman, Lai Mohammed, demanding an apology over some comments made against his personality.

The letter made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday and addressed to Lai Mohammed noted that Fani-Kayode has instructed his lawyer to sue the APC spokesman “in respect of a publication on Tuesday, the 3rd day of March, 2015 on Page 6 of Nation Newspaper wherein you made a statement and same was printed with the above caption, and hereunder reproduced as follows:

“Contrary to information being peddled by the Director of Media and Publicity of the Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the party does not wish him any ill-health, “even though it is seriously concerned about his ‘mental state.”

APC‘s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed had in a statement, in Dubai on Monday said; “No, we have never and will never wish anyone any ill-health.”

“However, we are seriously concerned that Mr. Fani-Kayode may have unhinged, perhaps as a result of a relapse into an unhealthy lifestyle of substance abuse. Our concern stems from the series of incoherent statements, outlandish claims and inconsistent behaviours exhibited by Mr. Fani-Kayode in recent times, which call into question his state of mental health.”

“We wish Mr. Fani-Kayode well and call on him to tell Nigerians that he remains clean, despite the massive pressure of work, and that he will not do anything that will see him needing a prolonged reformation in a foreign land.”

According to the APC, it was only an unstable mind and someone teetering on the brink that would conjure up the kind of improbable scenarios that had been put out there in quick succession by Mr. Fani-Kayode, and still believed strongly that he was doing the right thing.
