Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, has come under heavy criticism on social media, after he shared photos he took with Isa Pantami, minister of communications and digital economy.

Fani-Kayode attended the wedding of Yusuf, son of President Muhammadu Buhari, which held on Friday.

The former minister, who is know for his fierce criticism of Buhari, announced via his Facebook page that he arrived in Kano on Thursday to attend the ceremony.

Fani-Kayode said he flew into Kano in the company of Pantami; Bello Matawalle and Babagana Zulum, governors of Zamfara and Borno; Nuhu Ribadu, a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and other dignitaries — a number of which the former minister has publicly attacked.

Fani-Kayode had, in April, described Pantami as a “jihadist”, following the former’s pro-Al-Qaeda views.

The pictures have since elicited intense criticism on Twitter, a microblogging platform, with one of the comments describing him as a man “lacking honour”.

Below are some of the reactions.

Anyone could decide to "appoint" Femi Fani-Kayode, based on political patronage or something. But one thing we should never allow is; let him get close to any elective office.

Femi Fani Kayode can sell his shadow for a pinch of salt. He is ridiculously cheap. Even Omojuwa isn't this cheap. Ezigbote onye ọsọ ahịa. Just nwa jai ego and watch him become your otimkpu. Kai.
