Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister, on Wednesday reacted to the alleged rumour that candidates participating
in the ongoing recruitment into the force wrote examination in Arabic.
The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, chieftain, who condemned the alleged act, wondered why there are Arabic
insignia on Nigerian notes, Army’s coat of arm and also the Computer-Based Test
(CBT) taken by intending officers.
In a tweet, the former Minister
stressed that Nigerians are not Arab, hence “this madness must stop.”
The tweet reads, “Arabic words on
our bank notes. Arabic inscriptions on our Army’s coat of arms. Arabic language
part of the Police CBT examination.
“What is going on? Is Nigeria an Arab colony
or Saudi Arabia? Are all Nigerians Muslims? Must we bow to the Arabs too? This
madness must stop.”
Why there is cross + an insignia of Christ on our Hospitals sign boards and Sunday is a works Free days?? Are we all Christians?? This madness must stop.
ReplyDeleteFani Kayode needs to be caution in order not to plung this country into religious war! Muslims in the country have tolerate their brothers in order religion enough and I don't expect this statement coming from a statesman.. If FFK has issue with the government of the day, he should rather look for alternative ways to channel his grievances but definitely not to cause problems with his unguided and childish behaviors.. Africans are know to be traditionalist and the influence of those foreign religions (Islam & Christianity) have changed most of our cultural heritage and beliefs...
