Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress, APC, has condemned the police invitation of Femi Fani-Kayode, Director of Special Projects and New Media of the Tinubu\/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, after his coup tweet.<\/p>\n

The ex-Minister of Aviation alleged Atiku Abubakar, Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, met some Generals over the general elections, alleging an attempt to overthrow the government.<\/p>\n

The APC recalled Fani-Kayode was invited and vigorously interrogated by the Department of State Services, DSS, over the same matter.<\/p>\n

The former presidential aide was admitted to administrative bail and ordered to report daily to the DSS as they continue their investigation.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Wednesday, Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary suggested the invitation over the same matter was unnecessary.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said it gives cause for concern not only on account of duplication of effort by coordinate law enforcement agencies but possible implications for its member\u2019s fundamental rights.<\/p>\n

Morka described Fani-Kayode as an upstanding and law-abiding citizen of Nigeria who honoured the invitation by the DSS and submitted himself fully to their investigative authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we recognize the constitutional authority of the Nigeria Police Force to initiate and conduct criminal investigations, we urge extreme caution,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The APC, however, accused the PDP of \u201crelentlessly exploiting and politicising the matter\u201d that is the active subject of law enforcement investigation.<\/p>\n
