Former Aviation Minister and Director of New media of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), Femi Fani-Kayode, has apologised for raising an alarm about an impending coup plot in the country, saying he regrets making the allegations.
Fani-Kayode had, on Saturday in a series of tweets, alleged that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, was holding meetings with some high-ranking military officers with a view to carry out a coup.
Fani-Kayode who tendered the apology while speaking to journalists in Abuja on Monday after his interogation which lasted for over five hours and released by the Department of State Services (DSS), said he should have been more careful in his comments as a public figure and a role model to many.
The APC chieftain however, said he raised the coup alarm to “draw the attention of security agencies to be on top of the situation if there was any iota of truth on the matter.”
He also make-known that the security agency asked him to report back on Wednesday and once every other week until they conclude their investigation.
“I think it’s left to them until they now decide whether they feel the need to take a much more approach to charge me to court, or when they feel that I’ve done nothing wrong,” he said
