Femi Fani-Kayode Requests Redeployment to South Africa

Shehu Sani, a former senator representing Kaduna Central, disclosed that Femi Fani-Kayode requested to be redeployed from his position as Ambassador-designate in Germany to South Africa. Sani stated that this request was approved by President Bola Tinubu.

He also addressed previous reports claiming that the German government had rejected Fani-Kayode's request, labeling those reports as irresponsible and based on rumors. Sani criticized the narrative as cheap gossip intended to embarrass the federal government.

He emphasized that the reasons for Fani-Kayode's request to change his post were not clearly stated in the reports, which he deemed as a distortion of facts. The situation highlights the ongoing discussions surrounding Fani-Kayode's diplomatic role and the political dynamics within the current administration.
