Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has asked the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi to tell Nigerians why he was accosted and detained by British immigration officials during the Easter celebration.
Fani-Kayode on his Twitter account on Wednesday, reacting to the labour Party Candidate who tweeted on Tuesday that as humans, mistakes are made but, he will never knowingly break any law over his detained by British officials at Heathrow Airport recently.
Recalled that Obi arrived the Heathrow Airport in London from Nigeria on Good Friday, April 7, 2023, and joined the queue for necessary airport protocols when he was accosted by immigration official who handed him a detention note and told him to step aside.
Spokesman for the LP Campaign Council, Diran Onifade said in a statement that the former Anambra State Governor was detained and questioned for duplication offense which suggests that someone has been impersonating Obi in London.
While attributed it to some forces, Peter Obi said he had never expected the journey to a New Nigeria to be an easy one, adding that the forces, who had over the years, lived off the old order, are bound to fight back, as is being experienced now.
He said, “If they come at us through land, air and sea, we will respond to them through land, air and sea but, we will remain law abiding and will never give up on the nation. We are on the right path and we will remain committed to the course”.
The former Aviation Minister, Fani-Kayode who knocked Peter Obi over his Tweets, explained that the LP Presidential Candidate’s claim that he never “knowingly” broke the law speaks volumes and suggests that he broke it unknowingly.
According to Fani-Kayode, “Sadly for him not knowing that you broke the law when you actually broke it is no defence and in any case there are some crimes that are known as “strict liability offences” which do not even need any premeditation.
“Whichever way if Peter violated the law in any shape or form, knowingly or unknowingly, he is in trouble and he will have a case to answer.
“What, if anything, is he really hiding? Is it drug-dealing, drug-smuggling, human parts trading, human trafficking, fraud, misappropriation of public funds, money laundering, 419, murder, conspiracy, treason or all of the above?
“Only God knows and only time will tell! Whatever the case there are too many unanswered questions about this strange, deceitful, mendacious, perfidious, obnoxious, vexatious, fascistic little man whose voice sounds like a that of a Jezebellian eunuch and a castrated monkey.
The former Aviation Minister noted that something around Obi smells very badly. “Thankfully the noose around his “yes daddy” neck is tightening and I sense that in the next few weeks and months the cat will be out of the bag and he and his Obidiots will be totally exposed”.
