A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode, on Tuesday continued his feud with the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ben Llewellyn-Jones, asking the European country to recall him.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Llewellyn-Jones had accused the former Nigerian Minister of making disparaging remarks.
Responding to a question on if there were triggers for violence leading up from the campaign to the 2023 elections while speaking on Nigeria Info on Sunday, Llewellyn-Jones decried the controversial statement attributed to Fani-Kayode who is a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
He also lamented that the ruling APC had yet to distance itself from some comments made by Fani-Kayode.
But Fani-Kayode fired back, saying Nigerians are no longer Britain’s “slaves”.
This morning (Tuesday), Fani-Kayode continued his criticism of the British envoy.
He wrote on his verified Twitter handle: “I call on the British Govt. to recall @benllewellynjo1, the Dep. British High Commissioner, from our country for interfering in our internal affairs and attempting to involve himself in our politics.
“Like a bull in a China shop, he is bullish, uncouth, dangerousiy incompetent and painfully inconsiderate.
“He is better suited to work as an air host/hostess on British Airways, serving drinks and food to the passengers in the economy class of the long-haul London/New York trans-Atlantic flight route, than working for the British High Commission in Nigeria.
“It is a sign of great disrespect to our country that a so-called diplomat that is as shallow, dim-witted, intellectually-stunted, partisan, unprofessional, partial, arrogant, forward, disrespectful and limited in his knowledge base as this can be sent here to represent the UK. We deserve far better.”
FFK I have been following you for long time now, all can see is a man that can contradict himself, campaign for money and relevance. I remember when you vowed never to mingle with APC, Surprisingly, you’re their campaign spokesman. You used undiplomatic language against a British High commissioner. I remember when your value was still there, you’re our voice, but today you are their spokesman. Money, relevance and quest for power still led many idols astray.
You are the corrupt soul.
WHAT HAS Fani-Kayode’s REBUKE OF THE BRITISH UNDERDOG’S INTERFERENCE IN OUR INTERNAL POLITICS GOT TO DO WITH THE APC?
Yoi must be a confused IGNORANT!
ABSOLUTLY RIGHT!
