2019: Fani-Kayode envisages Buhari won’t step down if he loses, reveals what PDP’ll do to him

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari is using “his Fulani herdsmen to wage a silent genocidal jihad” in Nigeria.

The former minister and one of Buhari’s government fiercest critics stated this in series of tweets on his twitter handle on Thursday. He was reacting to the recent killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

He wrote, “Lai Mohammed told @BBCWorld that IPOB are terrorists who pose a much greater threat to national unity than the Fulani herdsmen.

“He is sick and depraved. Both he and Buhari will answer to God and the Nigerian people for the innocent blood that their herdsmen have shed!

“Buhari is using his Fulani herdsmen to wage a silent genocidal jihad. 120 innocent souls slaughtered like ‘point and kill’ catfish and the very next day he appoints a DG for his 2019 pres. campaign organisation.

“How can anyone be so cold, callous, cruel and insensitive?”

He went further to write, “Boko Haram bombs its victims whilst the Fulani herdsmen cut theirs to pieces. Don’t be fooled: the same hidden hand controls the two.

“Who refuses to arrest Fulani herdsmen? Who said ‘an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on north’? Who said it was wrong to proscribe Boko Haram?

“In the past year Nigeria has experienced the greatest increase in deaths from terrorism, with 7,512 deaths reported – an increase of over 300 per cent– UK’s Independent Newspaper.

“It is far higher than 7,512 in the past year. It is at least 50,000. Buhari clap for yourself.”

In earlier tweet, Fani-Kayode had quoting Benue State APC chairman wrote, “We must treat this as a national ethnic cleansing by the Fulanis.”

He then said, “Finally someone in the APC is talking sense. I said this over two years ago and was insulted for it. Eyes are now opening. I guess it’s better late than never.”
