Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister, has warned against arresting a leader of the Yoruba socio-cultural
group, Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo for not recognising President Muhammadu Buhari
as winner of the presidential election.
Adebanjo had raised alarm of his
arrest after saying he won’t recognise Buhari’s government until the Supreme
Court gives a final verdict.
Adebanjo had, in an interview,
described the 2019 presidential election as a joke, saying he could not
recognise Buhari who was declared winner of the election, as president-elect.
However, the National Democratic
Front (NDF), called for the immediate arrest and arraignment of Adebanjo.
The group claimed Adebanjo’s
comment amounted to treason and utterances capable of plunging the country into
another civil war.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode in a tweet
wrote: “The threat to arrest 90 year-old Baba Ayo Adebanjo simply because he
said that he refuses to recognise @MBuhari’s mandate unless he wins at the
Supreme Court is nonsensical and childish.
“I dare them to go ahead. I doubt
that Baba will loose any sleep over such an absurd threat.”
