Former Aviation Minister, Femi
Fani-Kayode, has declared that nobody in the North can intimidate him. He
declared that “it is fire for fire”.
This is contained in a statement
made available on Friday night by his media adviser, Jude Ndukwe.
Ndukwe said his principal
read a
press statement by some “self-styled Arewa Youth Forum in Abuja under the
leadership of one Gambo Gujungu wherein they accused the Ekiti State governor,
Dr Ayodele Peter Fayose and former minister of aviation, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, of being used by southwest leaders to destabilize the country and
pitching the rest of the country against President Muhammadu Buhari and the
north”.
“While we normally do not respond
to the antics of juvenile delinquents exhibiting a regrettably deep sense of
flippancy and nonchalance in a desperate attempt to warm themselves into
public spotlight, we find it highly imperative to put the record straight this
time round because we know that the macabre dance of these misguided youths is
a response to the drumbeat of their elders hiding in the bush.
“First, let it be clearly told
that Gujungu cannot claim to be ‘the National President of AYF the umbrella
body of all youths in the north’ as he brazenly put it in that statement as a
good number of reasonable northerners, including the youth, have since realized
the evil antics of such contraption which is only used for electoral purposes
after which people of the middle belt, northern Christians and other minorities
are treated like scum by the same Arewa that is quick to mouth a non-existent
‘One North’ during elections or as elections approach.
“One wonders where these youths
who claim to be speaking for the entire north were when Buhari whom they
profess so much love for today watched while his army killed about a thousand
innocent, harmless, armless, helpless and hapless Shiites, many of them youths,
in December of 2015?
“Where has Gujungu and his
co-travellers been while their cousins, the Fulani herdsmen terrorists, have
been moving through the length and breadth of Benue, Plateau, Niger, Adamawa,
Taraba, Kogi etc leaving in their trails tears, sorrow and blood of farmers
whose only offence has always been asking the marauding herdsmen not to destroy
their farms, their only sources of livelihood, with their cattle?
“Or are these innocent victims
from these states not also part of Arewa?
We did not even hear anything from these emergency Arewa activists when the same Fulani herdsmen terrorists killed more than a thousand people over a stretch of time in Southern Kaduna. Or are Southern Kaduna people not supposed to be part of this expired contraption called Arewa? Or are they simply ignored because they are Christians and belong to the minorities in that part of the country?

“The fact is that the Arewa
Empire has since collapsed. Buhari’s ascendancy to power ensured its final
cremation. If these same Arewa Youths and their elders would see nothing
against the evils being perpetrated against the many innocents not only in the
north but in all parts of the country under the watch of Buhari, good men like
Fayose and Fani-Kayode wil not keep quiet because if they do they would
ultimately share in the consequences that befall evil people.
“The path this duo walks is not
one they chose for themselves, it is one which destiny has bestowed on them. To
shy away from such a noble but tough and unenviable task divinely placed on
their shoulders is to offend God. And who would want to do that? Despite the
toughness and risks of confronting Pharaoh, Moses still had to go deliver his
divine mandate to the wicked king.
“Let it be stated that Fayose and
Fani-Kayode’s criticism of Buhari has nothing to do with where he comes from.
If it does, then this duo would not be defending the Shiites, people of
Southern Kaduna or victims of Fulani herdsmen terrorists who all come from the
same north as Buhari. Nigerians will also remember very well that Fayose is one
of Obasanjo’s ardent critics. Is Obasanjo also from the north?
“Their criticism of Buhari is
because the president has proved, with his words and actions, that he has the
qualities of tyrannical Pinochet, despotic Stalin and totalitarian Sese Seko
all rolled into one. If there is anyone who has pitched almost the entire
country against the president, it is Buhari himself!
“And if there is anyone peddling
lies and falsehood to gullible Nigerians, even kindergartens will jubilantly
tell you that it is the APC and their officials.
Rather than focus on Fayose and Fani-Kayode, the so-called Arewa youths will do well to help the president by telling him to be more humane in dealing with citizens according to the laws of the land he swore to uphold.
“Those who are egging the
president on despite his obvious critical ill health are those who actually
hate him. Isn’t it amusing that these youths from the north claim to have gone
to see the president, yet, top government officials within the ruling party do
not even have an inkling of how bad the president’s case is? This goes a long
way to confirm that this president is a president of only a section of this
country!
“Fortunately, Fayose and
Fani-Kayode will not keep quiet. Nobody can silence them. We all own this
country together. These two highly placed men of the country are too big for
anyone or any group to use to achieve an agenda. They have minds of their own
and until there is absence of official tyranny and gross abuse of presidential
powers, they will continue to speak no matter whose ox is gored!”
