Call your foot soldiers in the North to order • Fani-Kayode, tells Buhari

Posted by admin Latest Politics, Muhammadu Buhari (1983-85, 2015 - 2023), Presidency Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has appealed to the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) to toe the path of honour by intervening in the post-election violence in some parts of the North by appealing to rampaging youths in the affected areas to sheathe their swords.

Fani-Kayode made this known in a statement while congratulating President Goodluck Jonathan on his victory in the presidential election, which he said came about because the rest of Nigeria saw him as a unifying factor for all segments of the country.

He said: “I urge General Muhammadu Buhari to tread the path of decency and honour by calling on his supporters to stop killing people and to stop committing all these barbaric and outrageous atrocities in the North.

“Too much blood has been shed and too many lives have been taken in his name and over this election. The truth is that as the mass murders were going on, it was his
name and his posters that the perpetrators were calling and carrying. They were indeed his foot soldiers and the blame for these atrocities lie squarely with him alone.

The fact that he didn’t win the election proves that his efforts at ruling Nigeria were not sufficient to see him through, and no amount violence, murder, arson, intimidation, court cases or litigation can change that.”
