By Kayode Sanni-Arewa

The United Kingdom, UK, has hit out at a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, , Femi Fani-Kayode, over controversial comments made during the electoral season.

In an interview with Info FM on Sunday, the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ben Llewellyn-Jones, faulted the APC presidential campaign council's of new media, for making derogatory remarks.

Last month, Fani-Kayode was invited for questioning by the Department of State Services (), for claiming that the presidential flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (), , had a meeting with army general's before the elections.

“Yes, let's be specific, there were some people, like Femi Fani-Kayode, what is he saying and why is he saying it? I don't understand.

“It is wrong from my perspective that he will speak on behalf of a party and that party does not distance itself from him and say stop doing that. It is wrong to say that,” Llewellyn-Jones said.

Llewellyn-Jones has reiterated the fact that the UK government will issue visa bans to people undermining democracy.

According to him, there are about 10 persons already on the watchlist.

“We have a list, we are working through our list but we don't publish those names. I know people say we should, but we have laws, and the law prevents us from doing that.
