A former Minister of Aviation, and spokesperson of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said that Nigerians asked for the recent upsurge in Boko Haram attacks by refusing to renew Mr. Jonathan’s mandate, instead voting in Muhammadu Buhari as president.
He said Nigerians were warned about the dangers ahead should they oust the Peoples Democratic Party from power but that they still proceeded to vote for “change”.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said having voted the way they did, they must learn to live with the consequences of their choices in the last elections, among which is the renewed Boko Haram attacks.
“There is a hideous and frightful hidden agenda which is slowly manifesting before our very eyes. Though we warned them, the Nigerian people wanted ‘change’ so they must live with the consequences of their choice,” he said.
He said one of those consequences is the new-found “audacity, courage, growing power and rising strength of Boko Haram”, while another is the “resurgence of a clearly ethnic agenda which is designed to leave no-one in doubt about who really owns Nigeria and who the slaves are”.
Mr. Fani-Kayode also said Mr. Buhari had always been sympathetic to Boko Haram.
“Anyone that honestly believed that a man who secretly shares the same vision and core principles of Boko Haram and who spent many years defending them can do anything but give them a free hand when he comes to power is living in cuckoo land,” he said in a Facebook post Tuesday.
The remark was posted first on Monday, but was deleted before being re-posted on Tuesday.
Nigeria has in the last two weeks witnessed an escalation of Boko Haram’s bloody campaign, with several suicide bomb and gun attacks targeting places of worship, communities and public places, killing hundreds of people.
The latest attack occurred early Tuesday at a local government office in Zaria, Kaduna State.
Twenty five people were killed when a suspected suicide bomber detonated an explosive where civil servants had gathered for data verification in the Sabon Gari area of Zaria.
About 400 Nigerians are estimated to have been killed by the sect in the last five weeks.
Mr. Fani-Kayode, who recently changed his name to Femi Olukayode, in celebration of his court victory in a corruption case, said he was not surprised with the recent bombings and killings.
“I am not surprised by the resurgence of Boko Haram and their new-found barbarity, courage and zeal,” he said.
He also said the cause of the Boko Haram sect may have been aided by the removal of military checkpoints in towns and along highways.
He said the Nigerian government is also transferring Boko Haram suspects to Prisons in the eastern part of the country in order to ”spread the word” adding that no less than 182 Boko Haram suspects were released on the president’s orders just a few days ago.
“Is all this just a coincidence or is something that is dark and sinister now afoot in our country? “
“Whatever each of us may or may not believe, one thing is clear- that Boko Haram now have powerful friends and secret allies right at the epicentre of power and those friends and allies are running the affairs of the country,” he said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said there is a much wider picture unfolding which the Nigerian people have yet to see and which they find difficult to accept, understand or comprehend.
He said yet another consequence of Mr. Buhari’s enthronement is the destruction and demystification of a national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, and his “Yoruba loyalists by his erstwhile northern allies in the APC”.
“Only a fool did not see that one coming and I am rather surprised that Tinubu’s followers are now crying foul and alleging that there is a northern conspiracy. Didn’t they know that before? Were they not warned over and over again?
“There are many other grave consequences which the Nigerian people will witness, in a most harrowing and frightful manner, in the next few months and years.
“May God deliver our people and our nation and may we learn to make the right choices,” he said.

Haba! This is too hot oh. Could this be true? If true then only God will save Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteIt is not true. FFK is just an embittered loser. May his party (PDP) is the one sponsoring them. There is God ooo!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm this is true my brother , Many fools look at buhari and believe that change is coming ..hahahah this is morning to Nigeria ,APC where is change hahahah Buhari just Scamm so many Nigeria to take the power .
ReplyDeleteU r a fool. A dull head.
DeleteIt is only in Nigeria that a goat like Fani-Kayode will gloat like this and is not arrested by the government or lynched by the people. Will he vomit all these if his family members or kinsmen were victims? Nigeria has been cursed for all these to happen and some heartless beasts and sadists smile at such inhuman acts. yet this demon served in the very government that romanced the Bokos like long - lost brothers. Shame on all of us for sitting down and feigning unconcerned in all these. JAY 2, Abuja.
ReplyDeleteU are a fool to have make this comment our brothers and sisters are suffering, lost of life's,u are here talking rubbish.
ReplyDeleteFani ! Time will certainly tell if your claims are something to go by. However, you were part of the. Dramatis personae that overheated the politics prior election. May Gods' will prevail upon our land,now and forever.
ReplyDeleteThis guy may have loose mouth and sometimes difficult to understand. But the truth remains, there is some elements of truth in what the guy is saying. I just hope we've not bought a one chance ticket with our vote
ReplyDeleteFani-fool's statement just made it clear that PDP has a hand in BH affears
ReplyDeleteI just don't want to make any comment. watch what you say!!!
ReplyDeleteHow many died helplessly under GEJ watch? Who gave BH the audacity to grow in such propensity in the first place ? Who allow the BH to steal from the military armoury with ease? Fani Kayode... you have the effrontery to mock a Nigerian? woe unto you son of devil... you will taste this bitter pills by the grace of God. you have clearly showed that you are suffering from dementia. It's no wonder that your daughter went ahead to marry someone she live without your consent and blessings because she confirmed to Nigeria that you have lost your mind and worth to be a father to her. We are not suprised if you can not put your house together It simply mean you are mad and you have lost control. Continue to run your mouth like tap water we will destiny will contain you.
ReplyDeleteJonathan was rigged out by a Northern Professor Jega meanwhile same group says BOKO is an HARAM. ..How could Tinubu have fallen for this grand scam ...OMG! Tinubu shot himself on the foot for his alliance with a man without a school certificate? yet the very strict Prof Jega did not disqualify such candidate...
ReplyDeleteAnyways, the southerners were warned by GEJ, fani kayode, fayose, asari dokubo etc., they did not listen...
So now they must bear the brunt of their naivety and lack of vision
Bad & bitter loser FFK talking. This is rubbish& he should be arrested for threatening our corporate existence, weeping sentiments& posing security risk to our nation.
ReplyDeleteFani Kayode has says the truth.
ReplyDeleteBut truth is bitter pill to swallow.
Good lesson for the southerners, next time none of us will vote for a mallam..NO ONE
Let appreciate FFK for saying his mind nw, He just use that one to remaind our God that is above every power to fight for Nigeria and put all the enemy of this country to shame
ReplyDeleteReader please don't mind the headline. Just read the content.
ReplyDeleteCall him a fool or whatever you wish, but his words carry some element of truth which we are all seeing now.
ReplyDeleteFFK the propagandist. if he actually said Nigerians deserve boko haram bombing then I question his paternity, the Yoruba calls people like that "OMO ALE" his paternity should be investigated, it is likely that he is not really a Nigerian.
ReplyDeleteIs Fani Kayode a prophet?
ReplyDeleteAmen ooooh!!
ReplyDeletePMB should not rely on support from USA & the west. find out and pinch ur tent with pple that will rely help. get arms fro Russia and china and go all the way with the other nations and roast them out.
ReplyDeleteAm not totally a fan of Femi. Anyone that doubts his analysis of event here must be blind to the realities on ground. Judging from Buhari's appointments so far, men I tell you we have a rough time coming. What formed my oppinion is this is the delay in releasing the lists of ministers. APC is in deeper problems than we know. Buharis ministerial nominees from reliable source was disapproved before it was clearly dominated by the north. Is the fear of how Nigerians will react that has delayed the appointments of these individuals. Lets not be deceived. If Buhari can be quick to nominate those people (his loyalist from north) fire some, appointing ministers should not take him this long.
ReplyDeleteNigerians forget easily, Fani has always shown that he should not be taken seriously. If he were jailed for the obvious corruption his sympathizers would have accused Buhari and Tinubu. It is not surprising that he was left off the hook. After all Ibori was freed of all corruption charges but a UK Court exposed the rot in our judiciary.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, I have no comment on his ranting. Give him a job tomorrow Buhari will become a hero. Remember all he said against GEJ until he became his campaign director
He was convicted in UK because they have evidence of money laundering against him and he pleaded guilty.
DeleteIf this statement is really from this man, I think this is enough for the Federal government to arrest and nail him immediately. Upon all the condemnation from everybody in the north including the president PMB himself before and after election this bastard is still saying this, then the north should know that Femi Kayode is privy to those behind this Boko Haram menace. If GEJ had won and this still continue this same Femi would have still said they(Boko haram) are revenging for Buhari's loss. For peaceful co-existence in this country i think this man need to be silenced. How will Nigeria continue to be one if the greater part of it (the north) cannot have the presidency when the south has taken 14 out of 16 years of this democratic era. Enough of this insult. For anybody to say that the north is the one killing themselves like this only shows that the person is actually the main sponsorer of the menace.
ReplyDeletewhat are you people saying ? why should buhari stop Military checkpoint since we still have boko haram issue and there is know strong security , why should buhari give military other to release those suspect boko haram men ?? If those men from Igbo's or Niger delta will you release them ?? let us be sincere live this change change ?? How many state in northern state boko haram was operate when GEJ was there ?? Now this buhari is the one who say boko haram is a small issue why can't him stop them since he enter ?? You guys should know what is going on now with boko haram with buhari , Boko haram give buhari condition to release all those men or them will start be disturbing more ?
ReplyDeleteYou are not current. Those released are the ones collectively vis-a-vis wrongly arrested by the military and later decide to release after been quized. how can this be Buhari's order.
DeleteI see some illiterate commentators here some of u are fools nonsense stupid like Madam patient, Fayos, FFK, and other stupid PDPs bloody, neither u guys like it or not PDP are the one created Book Haram, before they leave from power, they already buys some powerful weapons and added to book haram not to let Buhari government move forward there's God he is the only answer keep waiting time will tell bloody illiterate commentators..
