Fani-Kayode grinds Buhari over #XenophobiaInSouthAfrica
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari over his response to the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other non-indigenes in South Africa.
He said that Buhari had proven himself to be a “weak’ and ‘chicken-hearted’ leader by not responding with a real threat of war to the South African government.
In a post on his verified Twitter handle, he claimed that if it were to be during the governments of late Aguiyi Ironsi, Murtala Mohammed, Sani Abacha, or the likes of Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida or Goodluck Jonathan that they would not have allowed Nigerians to be slaughtered in South Africa as currently being witnessed.
“Had it been Aguiyi-Ironsi, Murtala Mohammed, Sani Abacha, OBJ, IBB or GEJ there is NO way Nigerians will be slaughtered in South Africa without a real threat of war.Buhari has proved himself to be a weak leader,a chicken-hearted scarecrow,a toothless bulldog and a bloody coward.”
