Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister, has described Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as a “slave-man.”
Fani-Kayode made the remark in
response to Osinbajo’s claim that President Muhammadu Buhari was tolerant of
other religions.
Osinbajo had explained that
Buhari was so tolerant that he allowed the Villa Chapel to be situated behindhis kitchen.
He spoke at the opening of the
General Assembly of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs in Abuja
and was contained in a statement signed and sent to Nigerianeye by his
spokesperson, Laolu Akande.
The statement titled: “VP: How we
hold Villa Church Service besides Buhari’s kitchen every Sunday” reads: “Every
Sunday, my family and over 100 Christians attend service in the Chapel at the
Villa.
“The Chapel is located in the
premises of the President and his family. It is located a few seconds away from
the First Lady’s kitchen. Sometimes when I see the President on a Sunday
morning, he asks me whether the service is over already or I am escaping from the
service!
“That is the sort of tolerance
that we need in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious society and it is the duty of
leaders to show that sort of example.”
Condemning Osinbajo’s remark,
Fani-Kayode in a tweet wrote: “@MBuhari is gracious enough to allow us to have
Christian worship behind his kitchen – @ProfOsinbajo.
“Slave-man talking! The next
thing he will say is that Buhari is gracious enough to allow Christians to sing
hymns and pray in his toilet! And someone said this man is a Pastor?”
