Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, has mocked
President Muhammadu Buhari over an incident with pigeons during the Armed
Forces Remembrance Day ceremony on Friday.
As a sign of peace, the president usually releases some
white pigeons from a cage and immediately they fly away.
But, this year, the birds refused flying on Friday with most
of them sticking to the cage.
The incident was greeted with mixed reactions with many
Nigerians, attributing the birds’ behaviour to bad luck and the absence of
peace and unity in the country.
Reacting to the incident, Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, described the incident as bad luck.
Sharing a video of the incident, the former minister wrote
on his Twitter handle: “When the white doves of peace refuse to fly and when
the white pigeons of the Villa fail to leave their cage it is an ominous sign
and a bad omen.
“Buhari beware the ides of March.
“Even the pigeons refused to fly! What type of bad luck does
this man have?”
A very terrible sign indeed !!!
ReplyDeleteIf those white Pigeons were set free to fly as a sign of peace and unity in the land but refused, President Buhari suppose to have announce his resignation at venue of the occassion.
