Thereafter, the astute politician told curious State House correspondents that \u201cI won\u2019t go into what I discussed in there.\u201d Chief Fani-Kayode disclosed that he had the right just like any other Nigerian to visit the Presidential Villa.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The former aviation minister and Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to former presdient, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo noted, however, that the best way to resolve disagreements was for the parties involved to meet, discuss and move the nation forward. He said: \u201cThis is a Presidential Villa, the president is a president of Nigeria, every single person in this country that is a Nigerian is entitled to come here from time to time when the doors are open, to come and pay their respect to the wonderful people that are here. \u00a0As a Nigerian, I have done that today and I\u2019m delighted to be here.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking on his perception of the president, Fani-Kayode said \u201cI have always believed that every Nigerian, regardless of the side of the political divide they belong, and as a Nigerian myself, I have believed that we disagree on issues from time to time. \u201cThe most important thing is for us to be able to resolve these issues and come together to move this country forward. And I think every right thinking and responsible person should be able to do that. They should also be able to come to the Villa from time to time and see how they can help to move the country forward.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Asked whether his visit was part of his plans to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC), Fani-Kayode said, \u201cThe step that I will take will be made known to Nigerians at the right time. \u201cThe most important thing and I think you are fully aware of this, is that I cannot and I will not be associated sociated with a situation whereby any group of people is promoting a religion above another.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u201cI think all of us have gone past the stage of religious politics in this country. We must treat the Muslim community with utmost respect and we must treat the Christian community in the same way and even the non-religious.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A confidant of this fearless and irrepressible politician told the press that FFK may dump APC and join his friend Governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko in Labour Party. It would be recalled that both Mimiko and Fani-Kayode served in the cabinet of President Obasanjo as Ministers.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Pius Ajetumobi Former Aviation Minister Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, was at the Presidential Villa to see President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday (8th April 2014). \u00a0He was in the president\u2019s office&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
