Former aviation minister, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode was at a Federal High Court in Lagos today to give moral support to ex-governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, who was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged N30.8billion fraud.
Fani-Kayode told reporters at the Court why Fayose deserves his support.
He said, “I believe in the virtues of courage, loyalty and faith in God. I believe in loyalty to country, family, friends and political party. I am a patriot and I believe in loyalty to Nigeria. I also believe in the unity of Nigeria. I believe in loyalty to friends, through thick and thin. Fayose is my friend and that is why I am here. He stood with me during my travails and I am constrained to stand with him during his. I am not a fair-weather friend: I am a real friend and I will always stand with the persecuted, the cheated, the marginalised, the voiceless and the oppressed. Fayose is being persecuted like so many other leaders in the PDP and that is why I am here: to stand firm and show solidarity with him.”
