Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar on Monday commended the Department of State Services, DSS, for inviting Fani-Kayode, FFK.<\/p>\n
The Special Projects and New Media Director of the Tinubu\/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, is expected to substantiate his comment about Atiku and the military.<\/p>\n
Fani-Kayode had alleged they had a secret meeting recently, mentioning a possible coup plot ahead of the general elections.<\/p>\n
The Defence Headquarters condemned the claim.<\/p>\n
A statement by Atiku\u2019s Special Assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu called on the DSS to carry out a thorough probe.<\/p>\n
Shaibu noted that Atiku, even during the military regime, \u201cnever attempted to topple the government despite having the resources\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cFani-Kayode must also be made to reveal the identities of the so-called army generals who are plotting to overthrow the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.\u201d<\/p>\n
The aide urged the secret service and Nigerian authorities to ensure that the military is not brought into partisan politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cFani-Kayode and others in Tinubu\u2019s camp have continued to prod the military by making allegations of coups and an interim government.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shaibu stated that the former Minister of Aviation cannot be acting alone in the claim since he is the spokesman for Tinubu.<\/p>\n
He asked the DSS to also ask Fani-Kayode to explain his ties to Yoruba nation agitators, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and other separatist organisations threatening Nigeria\u2019s unity.<\/p>\n
The statement further referred to videos of FFK pushing \u201cseparatist agitators to tear the country apart and instigating a tribal war in Nigeria\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe DSS must thus leave no stone unturned in this investigation. It is obvious that Fani-Kayode is the one plotting the collapse of the 4th Republic,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
