“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, during the interview, also disclosed that the United Kingdom would be placing a visa embargo on 10 individuals already on their watchlist.
He revealed that the commission would not publish the names but stated that they are already working on it to put it into action in earnest.
Llewellyn-Jones said they had stipulated rules that must be adhered to, restricting them from publishing the names.
Fani-Kayode, on the other hand, has not been in the good books of the law for over a decade, and most recently, he was invited to the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja over a comment he made against Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate.
