Yoruba Council of Elders, YCE,
has lambasted the Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, for distributing
President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 election materials during Wednesday’s Federal
Executive Council meeting.
The elders said Shittu had
reached a criminal height of sycophancy and described his action as sad and
unfortunate.
The minister wore one of the
caps, which had the logo of the All Progressives Congress and the inscription
“Continuity ‘19: Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo’ on it and told journalists that the
cap was for politics and not for FEC deliberations.
But reacting, the YCE Secretary
General, Dr. Kunle Olajide, noted that the Minister’s distribution of the
campaign materials downplayed the mood of the nation after Fulani herdsmen went
on the rampage killing innocent people.
Olajide said, “I am surprised
that some of our political leaders are engaged in criminal height of sycophancy
completely oblivious of the mood of the people they claim to represent.
“People are talking about 2019
elections and 2023 presidential elections as if it is somebody ’s birthright.
“People should stop taking
Nigerians for granted for God’s sake. We are in the 21 st century and not the
20th century. The insult is too much.
“It is unfortunate and I am sad
that someone could be pre-occupied with such thought and action.
