Fani-kayode Blasts Jonathan (Published April 25, 2013) by pafestula(m): 7:44pm On Apr 03, 2015
The former minister questioned the competence
of President Goodluck Jonathan.
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode ,
said President Goodluck Jonathan by his misrule
is leaving a legacy of “destruction and disaster” in
Nigeria.
Speaking at a book launch in Lagos on Wednesday,
Mr. Fani-Kayode, in a speech titled ”A Date with
Destiny,” said the administration of Mr. Jonathan
has plunged the country into financial recklessness,
bloodbath (apart from during the civil war) and
total misrule never before experienced in the
country.
On the planned amnesty for the violent insurgent
group, Boko Haram , the former minister said it is
an “inglorious endeavour” and an “exercise in
futility” that will “set a dangerous precedent.”
“4, 400 precious souls cut short and slaughtered like
chicken by Boko Haram in the last two years. How
can our government sleep well at night with all that
innocent blood that has flowed whilst they are at
the helm of affairs of our nation?” the former
minister said.
“More innocent souls have been killed in the last 2
years by terrorists than at any other time in the
history of Nigeria outside the civil war. How does
President Jonathan and his”today’s men” feel about
winning such a dubious and dishonourable title?
Does he still regard Boko Haram as “his siblings”
who he “cannot hurt”?
“Why did the President refuse to visit the good
people of the northeast for so long despite the fact
that hundreds of people are still being slaughtered
there by Boko Haram every day?” he added.
He said the government has proved it does not
“give a damn” to the suffering of the people and
the loss of lives by not visiting the troubled region
until politicians from the opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC) did; and the
president’s lukewarm and delayed response to the
recent massacre of 185 people in Baga.
“He did not visit the place until the APC governors
took the initiative, did the right thing, went there
boldly and paved the way? It was only after that
initiative was taken by the opposition that our
President woke up from his deep slumber,
remembered that he was the Commander in Chief
of our Armed Forces and saw fit to go to the north-
east. Why did he take so long before doing so?”
“Does the fact that it took our Government two
days to even acknowledge that the Baga massacres
ever took place and that when they finally did all
they said was that they would ”investigate it” not
seem rather insensitive? This was after the Sec. Gen.
of the U.N. and numerous other world leaders had
not only condemned the massacre but had also
expressed their condolences to our President, to the
Nigerian people and to those that lost their loved
ones. Yet to the best of my knowledge not one word
of condolence or regret was offered by our
President or our Government. Since when have we
degenerated to such a point that when our people
are killed in such a brazen manner and in such
large numbers we don’t even seem to ”give a
damn”? Since when have we become a nation of
sociopaths that have no feeling and that do not
value human life?” he said.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the Jonathan administration
has refused to tackle corruption and therefore has
plunged the economy into deeper mire by its
wanton display of financial impudence.
“When will our President and his ”today’s men”
answer David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom’s, question and tell him what they
did with the 100 billion USD that they made from
oil sales in the last two years? When will they
answer Obi Ezekwesili’s question about how they
squandered 67 billion USD of our foreign reserves?
When will they answer the question that Nasir El
Rufai asked sometime back about how they spent
over 350 billion naira on security vote in one year
alone? When will they answer the many questions
that Pat Utomi and many other distinguished and
courageous leaders and ”yesterday’s men” have
raised about the trillions of naira that have been
supposedly spent on oil subsidy payments in the
last two years?” he asked.
“When will they implement the findings and
recommendations of the Nuhu Ribadu report on the
thievery that has gone on in the oil sector? When
will they cultivate the guts and find the courage to
respond to a call for a public debate to defend their
abysmal record? When will these ”today’s men”
stop being so reckless with our money? Why would
our ”today’s man” FCT Minister budget 5 billion for
the ”rehabilitation of prostitutes in the Abuja”? Why
would he budget 7.5 billion naira for a new ”FCT
city gate”? Why would he budget 4 billion naira for
some kind of building or centre for the First Lady?
Why would the Federal Government of ”todays
men” budget 1 billion naira for food in the Villa?
Are these the priorities of ”today’s men”? And all
this when Nigeria is back in foreign debt to the
tune of 9 billion USD and is still borrowing, when
local debt has hit almost 50 billion USD, when 40
per cent of Nigerians are unemployed, when
graduate unemployment has hit 80 per cent, when
40 per cent of Nigerians do not have access to good
food and are described by the U.N.D.P as being
”hungry” and when 70 per cent of Nigerians are
living below the poverty line? Is this the vision of
”today’s men?”

This was said when he was looking for stomach infrastructure while in ACN, but repeated now to look for food in APC.
