A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned Babachir Lawal, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, over his remarks about Yoruba people.
In an interview this week, Babachir claimed that Yorubas
cannot be trusted.
According to him, if you participate in a meeting where 99%
are from the tribe, they will likely finish the discussion in their language.
Babachir added that, “The problem with the Yoruba is that
when you support them and they win, they behave as if they have subdued you.
They will not count your support.”
But writing on X on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode said: “I advise
you to be very careful with your words and your characterisation of an entire
race, my dear brother Babachir Lawal.
“You know I have a soft spot for you, but attacking the
Yoruba race does not strengthen your case. It diminishes you, weakens your
arguement, and destroys your credibility.”
Fani-Kayode also reminded Babachir that President Bola
Tinubu nominated him for the SGF position in the late Muhammadu Buhari’s
government.
