A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has tongue-lashed the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over statements he made while on a condolence visit to the National Leader of the Pan Yoruba Social Political group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti over the death of his daughter.
Tinubu, while sympathizing with Pa Fasoranti over the brutal murder of his daughter, Funke Olakunrin by suspected herdsmen, stated that Fulanis should not be held responsible for the incident, adding that the origin of kidnapping in the country can be traced.
Reacting to Tinubu’s comment, Fani-Kayode on his Twitter page berated the APC national leader for “mocking” and “speaking for his Fulani masters” instead of commiserating with the bereaved.
He wrote: “Listened to Tinubu’s slurred speech and utter nonsense at Pa Fasoranti’s home. He was inconsiderate and insensitive.
“He was not there to mourn or commiserate with Pa, he was there to mock him, to pour salt in his wounds, to play politics and to speak for his Fulani masters.
“What have the kidnapper Evans or the Igbo got to do with the targetting and assasination of Olakunrin? And why the obscene determination and desperate hurry to absolve the Fulani of this hideous crime?
“He may not believe that they did it but why would he rule it out completely.
“Does he know something that we do not know? Is he an expert when it comes to assasination, homicide and murder matters? Does he know who the killers are? Why the rush to tell us who it wasn’t? Can’t he at least wait for the police to conclude their so-called investigation.
“Even for a confirmed quisling and desperate serf this time, Tinubu has gone too far. Funke has not even been buried yet and he is already pissing all over her bullet-riddled body. Tinubu has sold his soul to the devil and his conscience to the north
“He has become a slave to his ambition and a plague to his people. He is a shameless soul and wicked old man who is ready to sacrifice anyone and anything to become President. I make this pronouncement today: as long as Jesus sits on the throne he will fail woefully.”
