DECISIVE, FEARLESS & BOLD! Fani-Kayode applauds as Obasanjo attacks Buhari again
Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has applauded President Olusegun Obasanjo’s description of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration as incompetent and incapable of addressing the killings and poverty in the country.
Obasanjo, in the latest attack on Buhari, said his administration was confused and had reached the end of its tether while the nation was being left perilously to drift.
He said that the government had been wringing its hands and “giving one unrighteous and unacceptable justification after the other” instead of solving the country’s problems.
Obasanjo said this in a letter read on his behalf at a one-day national summit on insecurity and killings in Nigeria convened by the Northern Elders Forum, Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Pan Niger Delta Forum on Wednesday in Abuja.
The ex-President, who was represented by a former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, noted that Buhari was, by his action and inaction, doing a lot of harm to the nation’s commonwealth and heritage.
In the letter which was addressed to the NEF Chairman, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, the retired general recalled the discussion he had with the elder statesman about the danger to the nation’s democracy when he hosted him (Ango) in Abeokuta some weeks ago.
Obasanjo said,
“When you kindly paid me a visit a couple of weeks ago, we deliberated on the danger to our democracy, our common identity, our commonality of purpose, our dream and our unity in diversity.
“We lamented the harm that the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, by his action and inaction, has done and is doing to our commonwealth and our common heritage.”
The Owu chief added that the nation had never been so divided along religious and regional lines as being witnessed today.
“The obvious indication is that the government is seemingly confused and has got to the end of its tether and the nation is being left divisively and perilously to drift.
“Earlier last week, I noted in a speech some undesirable elements being allowed and being introduced to our democracy by this administration. If these are not stopped, they could be the death knell of our democracy,” he stressed.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode took to his Twitter page, to declare his support for Obasanjo’s stance.
He said,
“‘The Buhari govt. is confused and has gotten to the end of its tether’- OBJ.
“I proudly stand behind my father and leader OBJ in this battle. He is strong, decisive, fearless and bold.
“We shall remove the murderous herdsman called Buhari from power and send him back to Daura,” he tweeted.
