MI dares Fani-Kayode

The artiste described Fani-Kayode as a joker, saying he should have prayed for the safe return of the elder statesman instead of threatening the government. 

 

“You, Mr FFK, are a joker. Instead of being prayerful and hopeful for a statesman’s life, you are making threats against our government (sic),” he tweeted.

 

Responding to other tweeters who suggested that it was not wrong of the politician to have demanded an action from the government, MI insisted that threat was not a proper way to go about the matter.

The response has stirred an online controversy on the issue, with the Internet users taking parallel positions on Fani-Kayode’s comment.

Tweeting through ‏@Tomyboiz, a tweeter who identified himself as Opposition Figure, said there was nothing wrong about Fani-Kayode’s demand.

But another tweeter accused Fani-Kayode of politicising what was supposed to be handled with precaution, saying MI was right when he advised him to pray rather threatening the government.

Falae, who is also the Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, was reportedly kidnapped at his farm in Akure, Ondo State, on Monday.

The Director of Administration and Publicity Secretary of the SDP in the state, Mr. Remi Olayiwola, broke the news.

He said, “It was confirmed that Baba went to his farm as usual in Ilado. The gunmen went to his farm where they attacked and kidnapped him. The abductors have contacted Chief Falae’s wife, and they are demanding the sum of N100 million before they would release him.”
