The former Minister of Aviation and a major critic of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode Tuesday met
with the President behind closed-doors at the Presidential Villa.
At the end of the visit, he declined to give details of his
discussions with the President while speaking with State House
correspondents.
He said: “This 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. As a
Nigerian I have done that today and I’m delighted to be here.”
On his description of the president, he said: “I 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 an
issue from time to time the most important thing is for us to be able
to resolve these issues come together to move this country forward.”

“And I think every right thinking 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,” he said.
When asked to speak on what he discussed with the President, he said: “I won’t go into that.”
On whether he is leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC), he
said: “The step that I will take will be made known to Nigerians at the
right time. The most important thing and I think you are fully aware of
this is that I cannot and I will not be associated with a situation
whereby any group of people is promoting a religion above another.”
“I 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 Christian community in the same way and even the
non-religious,” he added
