…..After Olisa Metuh’s incarceration, Femi goes into anonymous cocoon.
By Bunmi Ogundairo
If Femi Fani-Kayode were a bird, he would probably be a nightingale. If he were a nightingale, would he, like the sonorous bird, piteously die of shame because another bird sings better? Driven by his declining stature and loss of relevance, he has descended into a desperate strait.
Thus his desperation to vent and reenact the impossible, like the proverbial soldiers starving to death in the battle trench; as the drought persisted, the latter abandoned prayers, marched up the hills and began to shoot at passing clouds to hurt the heavens for abandoning them.
Like the metaphorical nightingale and desperate soldiers, is Femi at his tethers end? Before his friend, Olisa metuh was arrested by EFCC, he carried himself around with outrageous haughtiness, showing disdain for everyone he considered to be opposition. Now, Femi has recoiled into his anonymous cocoon. Eventually, like all man-made deities, Femi, the controversy-prone Director of Media and Communication, Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, stopped resembling a demi god or something like one. Or have you heard from him lately?
