FFK Warns Miyetti Allah Over Call For OBJ’s Arrest

Former Minister of Aviation, FEMI FANI-KAYODE, has cautioned Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over its call for the arrest of former President OLUSEGUN OBASANJO.

The National Secretary of the group, ALHASSAN SALEH, had criticised the former President over his letter to President MUHAMMADU BUHARI warning that the insecurity in the country could reach genocidal proportions.

But FANI-KAYODE, in a statement today, dared president BUHARI to arrest OBASANJO. He described the call for the former President’s arrest as “reckless, irresponsible, dangerous and unacceptable.”

The former minister stated that OBASANJO was attempting to save Nigeria from another civil war, adding that those who opposed the former President’s counsel failed to appreciate the fact that in the event of such a war, they would suffer more than anyone else.

Buhari To Critics: You Are Not Patriotic

President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has replied those who accused him of not doing enough to tackle the widespread insecurity in the country.

In an open letter on Monday, Former President OLUSEGUN OBASANJO criticised BUHARI’S government, saying killings must not be swept under the carpet, just as Nobel laureate, WOLE SOYINKA called for a national conference to address the killings in the country by suspected herdsmen.

OBASANJO said the rate at which things were going; Nigeria could experience a situation similar to Rwanda where there was genocide in 1994.

But speaking with national executives of the Buhari Campaign Organisation at Aso Rock today, the president, who did not specifically mention a name, said those criticising the “isolated cases” of insecurity in the country are not patriotic.

BUHARI said every country in the world is facing one security challenge or the other, adding that banditry and kidnapping happen across the world.
