Fani Kayode Shakes Nigeria With Moving Speech: Give Reasons Why Akwa Ibom Gov Is Untouchable!


A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode on Tuesday urged Nigerians to resist the All Progressives Congress, APC, tyranny.

He said this while reacting to reported moves by five APC members of the State House of Assembly to impeach the Speaker and the Akwa Ibom state Governor, Udom Emmanuel.


Reports had it that five APC lawmakers were plotting to impeach the Speaker of the House and the governor.

However, Fani-Kayode, in a tweet, maintained that the governor will not be impeached.

“What is going on in Akwa Ibom right now is unacceptable. The Speaker of the State House of Assembly cannot be impeached by 5 lawmakers, violent thugs and fake policemen and the Governor will not be impeached either.

“I call on all lovers of democracy to resist this APC tyranny,” he tweeted.


Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, was discharged and acquitted on 1 July by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on the two count charge of money laundering preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. The court held that the EFCC was unable to prove the charges against Fani-Kayode beyond reasonable doubt and consequently acquitted him.

In his victory press statement Fani-Kayode changed his name from. Oluwafemi Fani-Kayode to Olufemi Olu-Kayode (meaning the Lord brings joy). According to him this was done as a mark of gratitude to God following his acquittal of all the remaining money laundering charges that were brought against him by the efcc. Fani-Kayode had fought the case since 1 July 2008 and he was finally cleared of all the remaining charges that had not been dismissed earlier on 1 July 2015. This was 7 years to the day after his ordeal first started.


Kayode had fought the case since 2008 was accused by the EFCC to have laundered about N100m while he was Minister of Culture and Tourism and subsequently Aviation Minister. The allegedly laundered sum was however reduced to N2.1m on 17 November 2014 after Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia, dismissed 38 out of the 40 counts levelled against Fani-Kayode by the EFCC for want of proof.
