Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted after the federal government asked ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to withdraw his recent comments which linked ethno-religious motive to Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorism in the country.
This comes after Obasanjo decried the high level of insecurity in Nigeria, stating that the Federal Government alone cannot tackle the menace.
He regretted that both Boko Haram and herdsmen acts of violence were not treated as they should at the beginning.
But reacting in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, affirmed that such “indiscreet, deeply offensive and patently divisive comments are far below the status of an elder statesman”.
The minister stated that Boko Haram and ISWAP are terrorist organisations pure and simple, adding that they care little about ethnicity or religion when perpetrating their senseless killings and destruction.
But, Fani-Kayode, in a tweet on Tuesday, wrote: “LaiMohammed and @MBuhari should be the last to talk about Boko Haram or attack OBJ for exposing their Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda.
“The same Mohammed once said it was wrong to ban BH and the same Buhari once said an attack on BH was an attack on the north! Who is fooling who?”
