Chief Femi Fani-Kayode , the Director of Media and Pblicity of Prsident Jonathans’s campaign today reacted to the controversial adverts Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose placed in different newspapers of yesterday. Fani- Kayode said,
"Governor,
Ayo Fayose is a distinguish leader of our party. A democratically elected
governor and someone we have immense respect and affection for and he released
this advert in his own name. That represents his own personal opinion which he
is entitled to. That is what I can tell you on our part as the Presidential
campaign organisation. It does not represent the opinion of the Presidential
Campaign Organisation or indeed the President, it is his opinion which he is
entitled to. "I have spoken with him and we respect him
but for any body to suggest that this is the position of the presidential
campaign organisation or President Goodluck Jonathan, that will be most unfair.
If we wanted to say something like that, we will say it without any kind of
apology but of course, we will never say that because we believe in the
sanctity of life and age is not a function of how long you will live. It is important that we recognize the fact
that age is not an indication of how long somebody will live"
