Former Minister of Aviation, Femi
Fani-Kayode has hailed the courage of embattled Zimbabwe President Robert
Mugabe.
The 93-year-old president, who
has being under intense pressure to resign, failed to handover power after a
military coup earlier toppled his government.
But in his speech from State
House office, sitting alongside top generals, Mugabe acknowledged criticisms
from ZANU-PF, the military and the public but made no mention of his own
position.
Mugabe said, “Whatever the pros
and cons of how they (the army) went about their operation, I, as
commander-in-chief, do acknowledge their concerns,” said Mugabe.
“We must learn to forgive and
resolve contradictions real or perceived in a comradely Zimbabwean spirit,” he
added.
Reacting via a tweet on Sunday,
Fani-Kayode said, “Robert Mugabe is one hard nut to crack. He ain’t going
nowhere anytime soon.
“Like or dislike him, for a 93
year old man to call the bluff of the military and his would-be usurpers whilst
they were sitting right next to him on national television is deeply
courageous. RESPECT!”

ReplyDeleteI consistently can't place the thinking of this guy, who speaks just to be heard, not minding it doesn't make sense most times. Someone should please find an appointment for him so he can stop messing up his image, those he really doesn't have much left.
