Femi Fani-Kayode, spokesman of the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says he got N800 million, being 10 per cent of his demands, for running the campaign of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Faulting the charges filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Fani-Kayode said he has no regrets working for Jonathan.
He said from the day his party lost the election, he knew that there would be problems, but he refused to flee the country because he had not done anything wrong.
“Our director of finance sent money out to the various directors (including me) from our own private company account for us to run our operations,” he told Channels Television.

“I was given only 10% of what I needed (very small) about 800 million naira to run a campaign for three months and we utilised that money.
“I have done absolutely nothing wrong and neither has any of my co-accused. I saw this coming the day we lost elections and it was announced that the other side had won.
“I refused to leave the country just as I refused to leave the country in 2008 when I was accused of things then.

“I have absolutely no doubt that in the end of this particular exercise I will be declared innocent by the court simply because it is very obvious that this is a politically motivated allegation.”

It is because you are used to squandering our common wealth and go and get away with that you call N800m as small amount which you spent within 3 months. You created record of stealing in the aviation ministry which stella Odua followed up.
Well, whatever has beginning certainly must have an end. Mr. Innocent, the journey to knowing the truth has just begone, the court and not newspaper house is where you should plead your innocence. Nigerians are waiting.
I said it! Ehen, if only we gave Oga Femi all the money he asked for. Dr. Jonathan would have still remained in the Villa and Naira would still be 160 to the dollar. Who is the enemy that kept Oga Femi from having all he asked for! 🙂
Your comment..EFFCC is crude and illiterate .but they are rich and ready to pay compensations to the victims of their terror .
Your comment..Do not listen to Femi Fanikayode,
When one realises that Femi was a spoilt child right from his early life then it will not surprise anyone hearing hi. say that N800 million is a small money. May I ask Femi to list and detail where he has ever worked in his life and present his earnings to the public.. Femi is nothing but the terracotta that changes colour.
