The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned the Nigerian Police Force against falling for the larks of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) regarding investigations into a tweet by one of its campaign council official, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.

APC said that while they recognize the constitutional authority of the Nigeria Police Force to initiate and conduct criminal investigations, they urge extreme caution in this matter so as not to inadvertently lend itself to unnecessary speculation as to the rationale for simultaneous and multiple investigation into this matter. The PDP has continued to relentlessly exploit and politicize this matter that is the active subject of law enforcement investigation which they say is simply unconscionable and disturbing.

Party Spokesman, Felix Morka in a statement on Wednesday explained that by a letter dated February 13, 2023, the Nigerian Police Force extended an invitation to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Director of Special Projects and New Media of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, “for a meeting on urgent National Security” on February 14, 2023.

It will be recalled that Chief Fani-Kayode was invited and vigorously interrogated by the Department of State Services DSS regarding his tweet about newspaper reports alleging that Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, was in secret meetings with Army Generals.

Following his interrogation by DSS, last Monday, February 13, 2023, Chief Fani-Kayode was admitted to administrative bail and ordered to report daily to the DSS as they continue their investigation into the matter.

He also added that Chief Fani-Kayode is an upstanding and law-abiding citizen of Nigeria. He honoured the invitation by the DSS and submitted himself fully to their investigative authority, and continues to cooperate with the investigation.
