Director of Media and Publicity, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has denied media reports alleging that he manipulated a document from Cambridge University to justify his claim that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari’s West African School Certificate’s statement of result was forged.
The former Aviation Minister said in a statement made available by his Media Consultant/Special Assistant, Sufuyan Ojeifo, that he was not aware of the document in question which purportedly emanated from Cambridge University.
The statement read in part: “The attention of the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has been drawn to some media reports alleging that he manipulated a document from Cambridge University to justify his claim that General Muhammadu Buhari’s West African School Certificate’s statement of result was forged.
“Chief Fani-Kayode wishes to state clearly that he never issued a statement signed by him in his capacity as spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign neither did he address a press conference nor briefing where he referred to the Cambridge document in question. He also did not validate the content of the said document on any occasion.”
