The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has said a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has eaten his unpleasant vomit with his return to the All Progressives Congress.
Adesina made this position known in his weekly Friday column, titled: “Buhari, FFK and the quality of mercy.”
In his column, Adesina who is from Osun State like Fani-Kayode, said he had also been an object of attack by the former Minister on several occasions.

FFK is back, let sleeping dogs lie. He may stay this time around, as he claims to have had a Damascus road experience, which turned Saul to Paul.

President Buhari has shown us the way. To err is human, to forgive, divine.

“The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. It has dropped upon FFK. May it always drop on us, for ‘it blesses him that gives, and him that takes.’ Amen, somebody
