Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has revealed why he is not bothered by the decision of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to place him on a travel ban.

The presidency had on Saturday revealed that 50 prominent Nigerians had been placed on a travel ban pursuant to Executive Order No. 6 recently signed by Buhari.

A report by The Nation placed Fani-Kayode on the list, as well as former Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Innocent Umezulike, who died in July and was buried last month.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode said he could not care less about the travel ban as his passport had been confiscated by a court in 2008 and kept in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

However, he expressed concern about the fate of some other persons affected by the ban who require medical attention abroad.

The ex-minister said, “I could not give a damn that my name is on the list of 50 members of the opposition and prominent Nigerians that have been placed on a travel ban, because nothing that Buhari does surprises me .

“I have not left Nigeria since 2008 because my passport has been with the EFCC and the courts for the last 10 years ; and they have refused to give it to me and allow me to travel .

“Those on the travel – ban list that need to travel abroad for medical attention or to see their loved ones are the ones I feel sorry for .

“For me , travel ban or no travel ban , I have no intention of leaving Nigeria anytime soon , because I am one of those that will be on the forefront in the struggle to liberate our country and ensure that we get Buhari out of power in the next few months. ”
