Fani-Kayode thanks Jonathan for receiving Tinubu without bitterness

Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has applauded ex-President Goodluck Jonathan for joyfully receiving the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima.

IDOMA VOICE reports that the duo and some APC chieftains had a secret meeting with Jonathan on Tuesday.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode said he’s happy that Jonathan welcomed them with open arms despite the fact that Tinubu was part of those who ganged up to chase the ex-president from power.

He wrote, “I have always known and believed that President Goodluck Jonathan is one of the most civilised, compassionate, capable and humane leaders that this country has ever known. I believed it in 2015 and I still believe it today.

“I am delighted that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Sen. Kashim Shettima, the flagbearers of our great party the APC for next year’s presidential election and our incoming President and Vice President respectively had the presence of mind, maturity, decency and humility to honor him with a visit yesterday in order to consult him about their efforts and plans for our collective future as a nation and to pay their respects.

“I am also moved and touched by the fact that despite all the differences and challenges of the past President Jonathan received them so warmly and with such respect and joy.

“This is a clear case of politics without bitterness and it portends great things for the future of our country.
What BAT and GEJ did yesterday was to prove to the world that they both have class and show what true leadership is all about.

“I thank God for their exemplary behaviour and inspiring leadership and for their respective lives.”
