Former Aviation Minister,
Femi-Kayode, has spoken on the address by President Muhammadu Buhari to the
United Nations General Assembly.
Buhari in his speech condemned
terrorists acts across the globe.
He said: “Frontiers of good
governance, democracy, rule of law are expanding everywhere, especially in
Africa.
“Individual national efforts are
helping strengthen State institutions, promote accountability, and combat
corruption.
“We shall also cooperate in
addressing growing transnational crimes: forced labour,slavery, human
trafficking, cybercrime.
“We must collectively devise
strategies to stop fleeing ISIS fighters from mutating and infiltrating into
Sahel and Lake Chad Basin.
“UN has responsibility to cooperate
strongly with regional organisations such as African Union,in conflict
prevention and management.”
Reacting, Fani-Kayode lambasted
the president for not condemning killings in Nigeria.
“You condemn the killing of the
Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar yet you slaughter Igbo Christians and Shiite
Muslims in Nigeria and you turn a blind eye as your Salafist Fulani kinsmen and
herdsmen butcher northern and southern Christians.
You declare support for the
establishment of a Palestinian state yet you reject the idea of Biafra. You
condemn North Korea’s dictatorship yet you have proved to be the most ruthless
dictator that Nigeria has ever known.
“Your speech at the United
Nations was pitiful, shameless and uninspiring. It was a cocktail of
contradictions, deceit and mendacities”.
FFK; wait till you are invited to address the UGA but now start to prepare and rehearse your speech ahead, so that your speech can be voted as the speech of the millennium.
ReplyDeleteFFK doesn't have to give a speech. He has validly commented on the blind spots of Buhari's speech. The world leaders have also noted the political absurdities locked in Buhari's speech.
