Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation, has explained his presence in court on Monday during the commencement of the court trial of Ayodele Fayose, Governor of Ekiti State, for alleged corruption.

On Monday, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Fayose on an 11-count charge bordering corruption and abuse of office to the tune of N30.8 billion.

Fani-Kayode was there to watch it all happen, and he told SaharaReporters: "What I’m doing here is to Ayo Fayose and I’m a sound believer in the unity of this country — also for the love of this country.

"I’m a lover of justice and I know it is important that people summon courage just Iike Fayose and to know that loyalty is a virtue. I’m loyal to my friends and country, and Fayose is one because he stood by me in time of trouble and I will in his troubled time. I believe it is important to learn a lesson from this.

On the unveiling of Musiliu Obanikoro, who used to be the in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with Fayose, as one of the 17 witnesses to testify against the Governor, Fani-Kayode said: "I believe it is important to learn lesson from this, that friends sometimes are not real friends.

"Friends that will stand by you in of trouble are the real one and I’m a friend to Fayose... to show solidarity with him and to let him understand that he is not alone because I really know what he is ing through."

He accused APC of witch-hunting the opposition, saying: "Every PDP leader has been subjected to some prosecution or the other. They prosecute the enemies and protect their friends and therefore it is important to be with Fayose because our only hope lies in God and the justice of the system.

"I have every confidence in this country and also that it is important that one looks for the taste of real justice. I don’t want people to be convicted on the pages of newspapers. Let’s see how it goes; I stand with the innocence of this man."

JFK seems like a good friend kind of guy

The beginning of the end of this case

How many LIKES for FFK for being a true friend....SHARE for Obanikoro for being a fake friend

The man is a confused criminal. He even wan scam Kanu but dat one disassociated himself from d Pd pigs..

Even though I don't really like FFK's ways, I must commend him for standing with His Pal. Nothing thrills me more than seeing loyal friends (That is if he is one)... That been said, Atiku should replace Fayose with someone else as the SW campaign coordinator fir I for see a "long walk to freedom"....

Fayose to me has zero influence in SW politics and he can't pull any weight whatsoever...

Correct padi.. I can how Fayose also helped FFK wife in Ekiti when she had issues with her bank.... true test of friendship... Many will abandon Peter the rock now..

Am I the only one that thinks this Fayose is innocent or is it because PMB is just after people that were against him??[b][/b]

Hmm

There is no big deal in that. As long as Fayose did not chop alone, he will surely no die alone. FFK is only playing his own part base on the amount wey himchop

Thats one of the guys code ,weldone man

FFK is the greatest wailing wailer of all time.... PMB I know and him alone is the Messiah

OK. Not ɓad

I have friends but among them I know my friends.

Corrupt and Looting fellows, till the very end. Lol

The only thing un afonjaic about him is his for corrupt element. But I'm not surprised he's one too. And for you, I'm not surprised, you guys always carry placards in defence of corruption. Nothing new

If Fayose was Ibo he would have escaped out of country than face EFCC. Yorubas are brave and resolved where Ibos are cowards and erratic.
