Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani- Kayode, has described the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose as a warrior with the heart of a lion.
The former spokesperson of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan's campaign team made the remark in a post on his Facebook wall after hosting the governor in his Abuja residence.
Fani-Kayode wrote: "Wonderful time with our dearest friend and brother Governor Ayo Fayose, a man who has the heart of a warrior and a lion.
"It was an honor and a privilege to spend the afternoon with him in our home today. I love this man with all my heart and he is doing great things for both Ekiti state and Nigeria."
Fayose, a fierce critique of Buhari has been in the news for various reasons lately.
He prevented operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, from arresting the Overseer of the Omega Fires Ministries, OFM, Apostle Johnson Suleman in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital in the early hours of Wednesday.
The secret police had attempted to arrest Suleman over his recent message asking his members to kill any Fulani herdsman found around him or the church.
Fani-Kayode's remark also comes at a time when Fayose vowed to remain a thorn in the flesh of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Fayose had explained that he will continue tocriticise the Buhari-led government because it has failed and Nigerians are tired.
The governor had said, "I will continue to leak their secrets. I will remain a thorn in their flesh. Anything they want to do, let them come. If they want to carry their police, let them carry their police. I don't care."
