One of the spokespersons of the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode has given an update on his follow-up visit to the office of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The former Aviation Minister, was invited by the DSS after he raised an alarm about a presidential candidate meeting with military officers plotting a coup.
After his first visit to the DSS office, he revealed that he regrets some of his utterances.
He said: “During the course of the discussion, I think it is fair for me to mention one or two things. It is self-evident that some of the things that were said were regrettable.
“Why do I say so? When news comes out, perhaps one should not have not simply said it, believed it and accepted it, even if it is true. Perhaps another course could have been taken; perhaps, let me ask the authority privately, let me find out before I say anything.
“I think I will concede that sometimes we have to be a little circumspect, especially given that as they pointed out, the medium that issued out the statement is faceless.
“We can’t rely on that medium. When I say something on my Twitter, the whole world listens. What I said really sent shock waves, and some people were very hurt. I say it is regrettable and I must say that was a mistake.”
Mr Fani-Kayode added that his judgement was ”clouded by the fog of war” which made him say things without putting much thought into it.
He described the SSS facility as the most challenging place to be, adding that it is a place that most people ordinarily should avoid going to.
On Wednesday Feb. 15, he reported to the DSS office again
Updating followers on Twitter, he wrote:
“Reported to DSS again today. Just got back. I was there for hours of intensive interrogation. It was challenging & gruelling.
“I have been ordered to report there EVERY day. I will comply. No fear! The Lord is with us! He is a man of war & MIGHTY in battle! Who can resist Him”
