UK Govt Slams Fani-Kayode Over Election Comments, Reveals 10 People On Visa Ban Watchlist

The United Kingdom has hit out at a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi Fani-Kayode, over controversial comments made during the electoral season.

In an interview with Nigeria Info FM on Sunday, the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ben Llewellyn-Jones, faulted the APC presidential campaign council’s director of new media, for making derogatory remarks.

Last month, Fani-Kayode was invited for questioning by the Department of State Services (DSS), for claiming that the presidential flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, had a meeting with army generals before the elections.

“Yes, let’s be specific, there were some people, like Femi Fani-Kayode, what is he saying and why is he saying it? I don’t understand.

“It is wrong from my perspective that he will speak on behalf of a party and that party does not distance itself from him and say stop doing that. It is wrong to say that,” Llewellyn-Jones said.

Llewellyn-Jones has reiterated the fact that the UK government will issue visa bans to people undermining democracy.

According to him, there are about 10 persons already on the watchlist.

“We have a list, we are working through our list but we don’t publish those names. I know people say we should, but we have laws, and the law prevents us from doing that.

“At the moment the list is between 5 and 10 and it is growing,” he added.

Femi Fani Kayode can never be added to the list of the Visa ban. Remember he studied law in IK and has the citizenship.
That's where he met and dated Bianca. I don't believe the statement credited to British government is true.
If it's proven to be true then it's selective judgement.
How come FFK is being criticised for standing for his boss Tinubu.
Must Tinubu's camp sit and watch their boss being turned into political punch bag simply because he won an election???
Why was Obi supporters not warned and added to visa ban for threatening thunder and firestorm.  Even promising to distrupt Tinubu's inauguration???
Like I said, I don't believe it.
