President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Bashir Ahmad, has reacted
to the viral video of Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister who verbally
assaulted a Daily Trust reporter, Charles Eyo.
Fani-Kayode in the video could be heard raining insults on
Eyo over his choice of question, while disclosing that he has a short fuse.
The incident which occurred in Calabar, the Cross River
State, has attracted condemnation from Nigerians.
Explaining his action, Fani-Kayode had claimed that his
political enemies sent the reporter to embarrass him.
The Daily Trust reporter had sought to know who bankrolled
Fani-Kayode’s tour of the state.
But the former Minister got offended and described him as
being stupid, accusing him of being sponsored by his perceived enemies to
embarrass him.
Reacting, Ahmad who is Buhari’s Special Assistant on New
Media said people don’t have short fuse but are not properly trained.

In a tweet, Ahmad wrote: “Personally, I don’t believe in a
short fuse, if you’re well-trained, you’re well-trained. I was taught from my
early days that no matter how provoked, it shouldn’t ever be an excuse for me
to insult others, especially those who are older than me. One of my
principles!”
