2019: Nigeria Is Doomed If Buhari Is Re-elected – FFK

The former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, on Friday said Nigeria will be doomed if President Muhammadu Buhari was re-elected in 2019.
Reacting to a statement credited to Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on the need for Nigerians to see Buhari as a symbol of the country who should not be denigrated, the former minister wondered why the minister did not say that ahead of the 2015 polls.

In a press statement he made available to Forefront, he said, “Now is the time to dig deep, build bridges, form new alliances, bury old differences and conscientiously collaborate with others that share our concerns about his flagrant incompetence, reckless ineptitude and inordinate capacity for evil.

“We must vote him out in February and remove him from power. If we succeed Nigeria will heal and we shall restore and rebuild her.

“If we fail Nigeria is doomed, she will never rise again and she will fade away into the sad and sorrowful ashes of a failed and inglorious history”.

Femi-Kayode debunked claims by Lai Mohammed that the President was the symbol of the country, “irrespective of the party or tribe which he comes from.”

According to the former minister, “I wonder why Lai Mohammed and his friends didn’t say this when President Goodluck Jonathan was in power?

“Instead they called him a “looter”, and a “corrupt and clueless goat” and they called his dear wife, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, an “illiterate and ugly hippopotamus”.

“Such painful and cruel words were deployed against a profoundly good, peaceful, kind and loving man and great President and his precious wife but now the joke is on them and they are eating those words.

“I say this to them:

“Buhari does NOT represent me, my tribe, my zone or my faith and he is NOT the symbol of my country. As a matter of fact the contrary is the case.

“He represents evil and that is why we have rejected him. He represents everything that all right-thinking people detest and despise. He represents blood, death, destruction, failure, anarchy, division, poverty, pain, conflict, malevolence and strife. He represents the forces of darkness and sorrow beyond measure.”
