Former Minister of Aviation, Femi
Fani-Kayode, has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari, for declaring that he
only got 198,000 votes from people of the South East.
Fani-Kayode, writing on his
verified Twitter handle on Friday, also stated that Buhari did not do Nigerians
from the region a favour, by giving them four ministers.
He wrote: “Buhari did not do the
people of the SE a favour by giving them four Ministers: it is their
constitutional right to have those positions. So whether they gave him 198K
votes or no votes at all he is compelled by law to give each state in the south-east
at least one Minster each.”
Buhari, speaking when he hosted
All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders to a dinner at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja on Thursday, had said: “There is something that hit me very hard and I am
happy I hit it back at somebody. Seven states of the North are only represented
in my cabinet by junior ministers, ministers of state.
“In South East, I got 198,000
votes but I have four substantive ministers and seven junior ministers from
there.
“You are closer to the people than
myself, now that I have been locked up here, don’t allow anybody to talk of
ethnicity. It is not true.”
