The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has called on the Department of State Services (DSS), the police and other security agencies to invite the Director of Special Projects and New Media of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Femi Fani-Kayode, for questioning over his comment that the former Vice-president and some military generals are perfecting strategies to take over power.
Fani-kayode had tweeted something to the effect that a military coup involving Atiku was on the horizon prompting the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) to debunk the report.
The ex-VP through his Special Assistant, Public Communications, Mr Phrank Shaibu, said the purveyor of the bad tiding merited security agencies’ invitation given that coup d’état is a treasonable offence.
Shaibu made this call via a statement he released.
It reads in part, “Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have bothered responding to Fani-Kayode who has over the years built a reputation of being an inveterate liar so much so that he was even publicly blacklisted by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) after his disgraceful outburst at a journalist.
“However, allegations and insinuations of a coup should not be taken lightly given the fact that it is treason, an offence that carries the death penalty.
“While commending the Nigerian military for effectively rubbishing Fani-Kayode’s barefaced lie, we call on security agencies to invite him to shed more light on the allegations.”
