Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister, has condemned
the presidency over its comment against Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka.
Soyinka, had criticized Buhari over the lockdown in Abuja,
Lagos, and Ogun States.
Buhari had ordered a 14-day lockdown in a bid to tackle the
spread of COVID-19.
However, the Nobel Laureate had described the lockdown as
unconstitutional.
But, Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu had urged Nigerians
to shun Professors of Literary writings and rely on information from scientists
on issues concerning diseases.
Reacting to the remark, Fani-Kayode maintained that Buhari
was not even “fit to lick” Soyinka’s shoes.
In a tweet, the former Minister wrote: “He said: “When he
supported you in 2015, you hailed & praised him. Now that he has criticized
you publicly about your handling of the COVID-19 pandemic you call him a “mere
fiction writer” that “no-one should listen to”. That is a Nobel Laureate: a man
whose shoes you are not fit to lick.”
