Femi Fani-Kayode, a spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), has revealed that he is not an enemy of the spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation, Senator Dino Melaye.
Recently, Fani-Kayode and Melaye have been engrossed in a serious war of words especially on Twitter. In the course of their exchanges online, they have used unprintable words and visuals to describe each other.
The former minister is a chieftain of the ruling APC and presently the Director of Special Media Projects and Operations and New Media, Bola Tinubu/Kashim Shettima Presidential Campaign Council; Melaye is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
But speaking to BBC News recently, Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister, said although “things may get hot from time to time, it will be a very grave mistake for anybody to think that we are enemies”.
“Dino has always been my aburo, which means younger brother in Yoruba, and I’ve known him for well over 20, 25 years.
“We may have differences in terms of political alignment, in terms of political ideas, and things may get hot from time to time, but it will be a very grave mistake for anybody to think that we are enemies.”
