Former Aviation Minister, Femi
Fani-Kayode, has urged former President Olusegun Obasanjo to say more things he
knows about Boko Haram, killer herdsmen and alleged plot to Islamise Nigeria.
He said this in a statement on Sunday.
The former presidential aide said
Obasanjo remained the only politically active southern and Middle Belt leader
that understands what is really going on, the grave danger Nigeria is in, and
what lies ahead.
He also attacked former Jigawa
governor, Sule Lamido, for attacking Obasanjo and defending President Muhammadu
Buhari.
It read: “Obasanjo is deeply
courageous and his latest contribution that there is an agenda to Fulanise West
Africa and Islamise Africa says it all.
“Obasanjo needs say no more.
History and posterity will be kind to him for speaking the bitter truth and
saying what almost every other southern and Middle Belt politician and leader
knows to be true but is too timid and too scared to say publicly.
“With his latest contribution he
has vindicated yours truly and many others. I saw this coming in late 2013 and
I told the world. Nnamdi Kanu saw it coming in 2014 and he told the world.
Asari Dokubo saw it in 2015 and he told the world.
“Afenifere, OPC, YOLICOM, PANDEM,
MEND, the Middle Belt Forum, the Niger Delta Avengers, IPOB, MASSOB and
Ohaeneze saw it in 2017 and they told the world. The Christian Elders Forum,
CAN and the Church saw it in 2018 and they told the world.
“Sadly the world refused to
listen, left us on our own and, instead of rising to the occassion and
confronting the evil, Nigerians went on bended knee to the powers that be and
acted as if they were not saddled with a major problem that was bound to
eventually consumme them all. Now they know better even though most of them are
still in denial.
“Now they must live with the
consequences of their indifference, ignorance, cowardice and stoicism. What a
pity.
“It is a tragedy of monumental
proportions that a nation that is so blessed with extraordinary human and
mineral resources should end up going this way.
“I hear one or two people like
Sule Lamido are not too happy with what OBJ said and have called him out for
saying it. That is sad and unfortunate because Obasanjo has done more for the
core north, Lamido’s Fulani tribe and Nigerian unity than any other former
President or Head of State in our history. He also fought in a civil war to
keep the country together.
“For anybody from the core north
to call him names for speaking the truth and baring his mind over what is
unfolding in Nigeria today tells you how blinded by power, insensitive and
callous some of these people are.
“It is only those that subscribe
to the Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda that will criticise or oppose
Obasanjo’s observation and describe him as “a bigot” for making them.
“What Obasanjo said was timely
and necessary and millions are commending him for it. He spoke the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.”
