The former presidential candidate of the African Liberation Party (ALP) and Director General National Taskforce to Combat Illegal Importation of Small Arms, Ammunitions and Light Weapons (NATFORCE), Dr. Emmanuel Osita Okereke has called on ex-Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode to restrain from the continued vituperations on President Muhammad Buhari, saying that he is now a cooperate personality.
Addressing newsmen in Enugu, Okereke advised Fani-Kayode to be very careful having been in government for the past sixteen (16) years and achieved nothing. While describing him as a failure, asked if not he should show Nigerians what he achieved while serving as minister of Aviation and culture and tourism in those ministries.
The president of Importers Association of Nigeria (IMAN), however warned that an attack on President Buhari is an attack directed to Nigerians since the president is a cooperate personality. Therefore whatever he does, he does in the name of Nigeria.
“Fani-Kayode has being involved in the government since 1999 to 2015 and somebody like him should not be talking. He was a minister of Culture and Tourism and a minister for Aviation. As a minister, Fani-Kayode could not renovate one single air port. Can he tell us this is his achievement as minister of aviation? Can he tell us this is his achievement as minister of Culture and tourism? He was special adviser to Obasanjo.
“When he became the spokesman of Jonathan campaign organization, what was his achievement? If he had capacity as a media person he would have find out the fault and the problem while Jonathan could not win the election. So I look at him as a failure” Okereke said.
Okereke said since Fani-Kayode and his pay masters had power for sixteen years but could not manage the power to transform Nigeria and better the lives of Nigerians he should allow somebody Nigerians have giving power to lead them to do so.
“President Buhari is not his mate and he never contested the same position with him. They had the power they can’t manage the power and power has being given to someone else. Power is not being given, power is being taken. Buhari contested from 2003, 2007, 2011 and he took it in 2015. So this is somebody who has power for 16years and cannot know how to protect his government and protect the people of Nigeria”.
