Fani-Kayode Drops Bombshell, Disagree With PDP Apology, Expose APC, Buhari, Others
The former
Minister of Aviation doesn't agree that PDP National chairman, Uche Secondus
should apologize to Nigerians. According to FFK, the apology was ill-conceived
and unnecessary as the giant strides of former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and
Goodluck Jonathan, cannot be matched by the APC government. Read his new
article below
I
received the news of the apology offered to the Nigerian people by my friend
and brother Prince Uche Secondus, the National Chairman of the PDP, with mixed
feelings.
For goodness sake
what is the apology for? Is it the great achievements of President Olusegun
Obasanjo or the commendable strides of President Goodluck Jonathan?
In my view
Secondus' apology was ill-conceived and unnecessary.
And if PDP must
apologise for its 16 years in power then on its own part the Buhari
administration and each and every one of the APC leaders must be compelled to
pull out a loaded gun, point it at their own temples and blow out their own brains.
It is either that
or they must be compelled to take some lethal poison and die a slow and
terrible death for the corruption, hardship, penury, bloodshed and evil that
they have foisted and inflicted on the Nigerian people over the last three
years.
I proudly served
in President Obasanjo's government, which was a PDP government, for four years
and his achievements were legion.
He inspired and
encouraged our people and made them proud to be Nigerians again and he paid off
our foreign debt, stabilised the country and pulled us back from the brink of
war.
He treated every
Nigerian fairly regardless of faith or tribe and he left a total of $64 billion
USD in our foreign reserves.
He strengthed the
economy and ensured that Nigeria was readmitted into the comity of civilised
nations.
He boosted
agricultural growth, fought an effective and non-selective war against
corruption and ushered massive foreign and local investment into the country.
He built up local
industries and assisted the manufacturing sector to prosper and thrive and
caused the Stock Exchange to flourish.
He strengthened
our Armed Forces, reformed the education sector, improved the health sector,
encouraged freedom of speech and ensured that not one journalist, dissident or
opposition figure was locked up for expressing his or her views.
He also managed
the sharia crisis well and avoided a civil war, pulled us back from the brink
of war with the Cameroons, brokered a successful peace deal in Liberia, quelled
a military coup d'etat in Sao Tome and Principe and so much more. Is that what
we are apologising for?
Anyone may say
whatever they like about Obasanjo, and I do not for one minute suggest that he
is an angel or that he is infallible, but one thing you can never take away
from him is the fact that he remains probably the most patriotic, dedicated and
effective leader that Nigeria has ever had and one of the greatest that the
African continent has ever been blessed with.
Frankly we need
to be careful what we say as a party and we should stop accepting and feeding
into the deceitful and mendacious narrative that is being encouraged and
fuelled by the Buhari administration and our collective enemies which asserts
that we were all hopelessly corrupt and that we never achieved anything at all!
When we say that
we are apologising it simply means that we have accepted that false narrative
and that is not only a grave error but it is also unacceptable simply because
such a narrative has no basis in reality, rationality, reason or truth.
It also does a
great disservice to all the former PDP Governments and Presidents over the 16
years that we were in power.
We may have made
a few mistakes here and there and we may not have scored 100 per cent on all
fronts but to suggest that we are guilty of some heinous crime for which we are
now constrained to apologise is not only misplaced, inappropriate and
ill-advised but it is also unwise.
Worst still in
the coming months we may be forced to pay a heavy price for it as we become the
subject of ridicule and opprobrium.
The only thing
PDP needs to apologise for is allowing a bunch of incompetent fools, unlettered
rogues and uncivilised sociopaths and sadists like the APC to take power in
2015.
That is what we
must ask God and the Nigerian people to forgive us for and nothing else.
My friend and
brother Donald Duke, the former Governor of Cross Rivers state, and others have
suggested that we must reach out to other political parties and form a broad-based
coalition to confront and defeat the APC in next years presidential election.
That is a duty
that is incumbent on each and everyone one of us and if we fail in discharging
it God will judge us and deal with us ever so severely. Worst still, if we fail
and Buhari returns to power next year, as Obasanjo has said, Nigeria will
collapse.
If
anyone needs
to be reminded about just how inept and degenerate Buhari's government
is I
urge them to kindly consider the events of the last few days and weeks
which
prove beyond any reasonable doubt that they are nothing but a government
of unconscionable liars, professional propagandists, disinformation
merchants and
first class scammers.
First came the
Dapchi scam. Then came the Martin Luther King award scam. Then came the Lagos
bus terminal scam in which Lagos, the largest city in Africa, was put under
lockdown and all its roads were blocked simply because Buhari was coming to
open a glorified bus stop and attend a colloquim for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu's 66th
birthday.
For the last few
days it has been one merry little photo-shoot and disingenuous scam after the
other but two events which struck me more than any of the others were the
following.
At the colloquim
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo reiterated his view that the PDP were corrupt and
a party of looters and that the looting under President Goodluck Jonathan's
government and in the 5 years before Buhari came to power had destroyed the
Nigerian economy.
This is a lie
from the pit of hell. Osinbajo is not only a disgrace to his country but also a
traitor to his Christian faith and Yoruba race.
He is hopelessly
corrupt and he is a pernicious liar. All he ever does, apart from being the
resident slave and proverbial Uncle Tom in the Presidential Villa, is accuse
the PDP and other members of the opposition of looting and corruption yet the
government that he heads with Buhari has indulged in MORE corruption in 3 years
than the PDP did in 16.
Worst still they
delight in wasting their enemies, shedding innocent blood, locking up their
adversaries and encouraging and supporting their friends and associates to
indulge in mass murder, genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The second event
was the release of the list of names of those who have been described as
"looters" by the Federal Government even though not one person has
been convicted by a court of law of looting amongst all those whose names were
listed.
It is simply
ridiculous when a government of murderous slanderers, heartless disinformation
agents and vicious scammers says and does things like this.
Simply put it is
a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black. Yet before I go into that
permit me to touch on an aside.
During the
festivities they wheeled out an undoubtedly beautiful black British super-model
called Naomi Cambell to pose in pictures with Buhari during his visit to Eko
Atlantic whilst he was in Lagos.
Quite what the
point of this exercise was I have not been able to grasp or fathom but it is
interesting to note that the last African Head of State that this "pretty
babe" took a picture with ended up being convicted for crimes against
humanity by the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
His name was
Charles Taylor, the former President of Liberia. I wonder whether history will
repeat itself and Buhari will end up in the same place ? I guess that remains
to be seen.
It was the day
after the pose with Naomi that the Buhari government came up with their list of
so-called "looters" which did not have the name of Rotimi
"Oloriburuku" Amaechi or any other APC leader or government official
on it.
Yet the truth is
that no list of looters is complete without the names of Muhammadu Buhari, Yemi
Osinbajo, Rotimi Amaechi, Babachir Lawal, Babatunde Raji Fashola, Abdulrasheed
Maina, Maikanti Baru, Abdulrahman Dambazzau, Abdullahi Adamu, Mohammed Burutai
and all the other APC leaders and Federal Government officials on it.
They
are not only
thieves but they literally invented the art of corruption and they are
experts
in it. They are corrupt in body, spirit and soul. They have stolen and
misappropriated vast sums of money from the Nigerian state, diverted
billions of
naira from state government funds for their 2015 presidential campaign
and they
have snuffed out and destroyed more innocent lives than any other
government in
the history of Nigeria outside of the civil war.
When,
God-willing, we get them out of power and take over we will open the books,
expose them for what they are and each and everyone of them will suffer the
consequences of their unprecedented graft and monstrous larceny.
One day Nigerians
will discover that Buhari is not an angel but a devil and that his entire
government and team is infested with demons and incorrigible rogues.
A couple of weeks
ago I wrote the following in one of my essays:
"President
Buhari forgets that our system of government is meant to be a modern-day
democracy where the rule of law prevails, where dissent and a plurality of
views and opinion is tolerated and where freedom of expression, freedom of
association, the right to life and the right to a fair hearing is held
sacrosanct and is guaranteed.
Worst still he
believes in demonising and crushing all his enemies and holding on to power at
all costs and through any means both fair and foul. If you doubt any of these
things please ask Sambo Dasuki, Sheik El Zak Zaky, Nnamdi Kanu or countless
others.
He leads a
corrupt government which operates double standards and which turns a blind eye
to the theft and graft that is being perpetrated by its officials and their friends
whilst at the same time persecuting his perceived enemies and labelling them as
being corrupt even though there is no real and tangible evidence of that
so-called corruption.
And if anyone
doubts that Buhari and his government are hopelessly corrupt then they should
please read the latest Transparancy International report in which they said
that corruption in Nigeria is "getting worse under Buhari".
Buhari is a
tyrant and a genocidal maniac who believes in conquest and oppression and who
has turned a blind eye whilst his subjects are butchered in their thousands by
Fulani terrorists who call themselves herdsmen.
He has brought
nothing but carnage, division, destruction, death, poverty and evil to our
nation.
On several occasions he has watched silently and done nothing after his security agencies
and Armed Forces killed thousands of his own citizens, whether they be Igbo
youths that are members of IPOB or Shiite Muslims, after which they are buried
in mass graves.
These are crimes
against humanity for which he should be charged at the International Criminal
Court at the Hague.
Those that are
not killed are thrown into prisons or horrific detention cells all over the
country where they are tortured and left to rot without any form of due process
and against court orders to release them.
If anyone has any
doubts about that they should please read the latest report by Amnesty
International.
To add to all
these horrors poverty and hunger has ravaged the land. If anybody doubts that
they should please read the latest IMF report where the International Monetary
Fund claim that Nigerians are "hungrier today" than they have ever
been and that more of our people are living below the poverty line than ever
before.
The truth is that
apart from being monumentally incompetent Buhari is also shallow, sectional,
divisive and vindictive and he has proved that he is wholly unfit and
undeserving to be the President of a complicated, multi-cultural,
multi-relgious and multi-ethnic mega-nation like Nigeria which needs to be led
and handled with sensitivity, caution and care".
I stand by every
word that I wrote in that essay and frankly, as each day passes, things are
getting worse for the Nigerian people under his watch.
Permit me to
conclude this contribution with the following:
Like President
Obasanjo's devastating letter, President Goodluck Jonathan's consistent
criticism, President Ibrahim Babangida's public admonition and Vice President
Atiku Abubuakar's pungent opposition, General T.Y. Danjuma's bombshell, which
was unleashed just few days ago against the Buhari government, was not only
timely and courageous but also absolutely necessary.
He rightly
alleged that our government, through its Armed Forces, are involved in ethnic
cleansing and genocide and he boldly encouraged the people to defend
themselves, defend their territory and defend Nigeria.
He has confirmed
what yours truly and a handful of others have been saying for the last two
years that the Buhari administration and their security forces collude with the
Fulani herdsmen to slaughter and commit mass murder against our people.
This is
unacceptable, it will never be forgotten and it will not go unavenged. It is
only a matter of time before ALL those involved will suffer the consequences of
their barbaric actions and be brought to justice.
Danjuma's
concerns, coupled with the admonitions of Bill Gates, the worlds richest man,
who has criticised the Buhari government viciously both whilst he was in
Nigeria and after he returned home to America, prove beyond any reasonable
doubt that Nigeria is in danger and that the Buhari government has messed
things up very badly. Like Nero, they are playing the fiddle whilst Rome is
burning.
If anyone needs
to apologise to the Nigerian people it is Buhari, Osinbanjo and their APC and certainly
not the PDP or indeed any of the other political parties.
