Read Fani-Kayode's reaction on the controversial adverts of yesterday sponsored by the Gov. of Ekiti State. Ayo Fayose

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"
