Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister, on Tuesday lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for saying herdsmen
in Nigeria don’t carry AK-47.
Buhari, who made the declaration
during a meeting with his counterpart from the United States, US, President
Donald Trump, insisted that herdsmen only wield sticks and occasionally
machetes.
He had said, “The problem of
herders in Nigeria is a very long historical thing. The Nigerian herders don’t
carry anything more than a stick and occasionally a matchet to cut down foliage
and give it to their animals, these ones are carrying AK-47.
“So, people should not underrate
what happened in Libya. 43 years of Ghaddaffi, people were recruited from Sahel
and trained to shoot and kill. With the demise of Ghaddaffi they moved to other
countries and region and carried the experience with them.”
However, Fani-Kayode, in his
reaction described Buhari’s remark as a “lie.”
In a tweet, he wrote: “Herdsmen
don’t carry AK 47’s.They only use sticks” @MBuhari to @realDonaldTrump
“LIE.
“We’ve had serious problems with
Christians being murdered in Nigeria. We’re going to work on that problem
because we can’t allow that to happen”-@realDonaldTrump to @MBuhari
“WARNING.”
