Fani-Kayode, former Aviation
Minister, has condemned remark credited to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo
that kidnapping in Nigeria was exaggerated.
He described the remark by the
Vice President as a “lie from the pit of hell.”
Osinbajo, while addressing some
Nigerians in New York had said the ongoing insecurity in the country,
particularly kidnapping and banditry were being exaggerated.
“Kidnapping in Nigeria is
exaggerated and not entirely new, social media tends to be hysterical about
everything,” Osinbajo had said.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode rubbished
Osinbajo’s claim.
In a tweet, the former Minister
wrote: “Kidnapping in Nigeria is exaggerated and not entirely new…social media
tends to be hysterical about everything – @ProfOsinbajo.
“This is a pernicious,
perfidious, insidious, malevolent, repugnant and dirty LIE. It is the mendacity
of the century: a LIE from the pit of hell.”
Also, the immediate past Kaduna
Central Senator, Shehu Sani condemned the remark credited to Osinbajo.
He described the remark by the
Vice President as an affront on the spirit of the dead.
In a tweet, Sani wrote: “I have a
lot of respect for the Vice President but the statement credited to him on
killings and kidnappings is an affront on the spirit and sensibilities of the
dead and the living victims of this continuous violence.”
