Fani-Kayode praises Buhari, denies dumping PDP
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 

(NAN)Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, ex-minister of state for defence and critic of ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), agreed praising President Muhammadu Buhari but has denied dumping opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said that the reports that he had joined APC are false.

In tweet on Friday, he said the reports are “vile mendacities and perfidious falsehood’’.

He said that it was true that he commended President Muhammadu Buhari for getting Zainab Aliyu out of Saudi Arabia prison.

The commendation, he said was not tantamount to joining the president’s political party.

“Reports that I said I am “proud of Buhari” and that I have “dumped PDP” and “joined APC” are false. Those that are peddling such vile mendacities and perfidious falsehood are insane. I commended Buhari for getting the young lady in Saudi Arabia out of prison but it stops there,’’ he said in his tweet.

Saudi Arabian authorities released Zainab Aliyu, a student of Maitama Sule University, Kano, who was arrested for alleged drug trafficking.

Also released was Ibrahim Abubakar.

Zainab was arrested since Dec. 25, 2018.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said the government has been able to establish the innocence of Zainab and the second Nigerian involved in the case, Ibrahim Abubakar.

Both accused, he said, would be released tomorrow to the Nigerian Mission in Saudi Arabia.

There had been several calls for their release with President Muhammadu Buhari directing the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, to swiftly intervene and secure her immediate release.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Diaspora Affairs Abike Dabiri-Erewa had assured Nigerians that they were making good progress and she will be back, along with 2 others in the same situation.

Zainab was arrested after a banned drug, Tramadol, was found in her bag, but claimed it was planted in her luggage by unknown persons.

The student had reportedly travelled from Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in company with her mother, Mrs. Maryam Aliyu, and sister, Hajara Aliyu.

Zainab, who was accused of entering Saudi Arabia with an illegal dosage of Tramadol.

Reports indicate the she was a victim of a cartel that specialised in keeping hard drugs in travellers’ bags, some of whom were already in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

In Kano on Tuesday, some students of Yusuf Maitama Sule University, her school, protested against her arrest and detention.

    That our Illiterate Fulani President, Mallam Muhammadu Buhari did get the Saudi Authorities to have Mrs Zainab Aliyu released from her deathrow is simply because, she is an Hausa/Fulani muslim after all.
    Come to think about it; more than a score of Nigerians are on deathrow there in
    Saudi Arabia like Mrs Zainab Aliyu and for similar offences too.
    Why didn’t President Buhari ask the Saudis to release all the Nigerians,who are
    on deathrow for drug related offences too?
    But the fact of the matter here is that without an exception, all those hapless Nigeria due to be brutally beheaded in Saudi Arabia are all Yoruba muslims.
    The poor Omo Afonjas of the South West ( Yoruba mulims) ,wouldn’t know that Buhari and his Neo-colonialist Fulani aliens of the Caliphate of Sokoto ,do indeed despise them more than they despise us, non-muslim Indigenous People of Nigeria.
    However, it might perhaps interest many Nigerians to know that those
    Barbaric Saudi savages have been beheading scores of Nigerians every years
    and for decades too.
    Every year hundreds of Nigerian muslims travel to Saudi Arabia on Pilgrimage.
    Many of them either die there or return home, bringing in their wake not a blessing but a curse to our country, in the form Cholera Epidemics.
    Of course, Islam is an evil and a very wicked religion, which is incapable of delivering any Spiritual Enlightenment to humankind.
    Muslims do of course live for a here-after. That explains why they are at war
    amongst themselves or on their Jihadist terror campaigns across the globe.
    That Chief Fani-Kayode of all people, would dare praise that Daura Tyrant for
    the release of that Aboki woman is indeed a clinch nonense.
    Buhari and his Fulani alien sojourners of the North are indeed an anathema to us Indigenous People of Nigeria.
    The Troglodytes,so called Fulanis are of course,nomore Nigerians than the
    Afrikaans (Boers) are South Africans.
    But Apartheid is nomore in South Africa.
    The ultima ratio therefore,is for us to compel the Fulanis to dismantle their
    anachronistic Caliphate of Sokoto, to abrogate their fucking Sharia Imposition in the polity and to pull our country from our OIC,C8 and C15 Memberships.
    It is however very urgent and imperative too, that for us to coexist with those
    barbaric, bellicose and murdering Fulani savages, this moribund failed Banana
    Republic of ours must be restructured or, alternatively we Nigerians must now
    be compelled to go our fucking separate ways like the Soviets and the Yugoslaves.
    Enough is enough jare!
