Response To Femi Fani-kayode’s Diatribe Against President Buhari By Fashakin by mohince(m): 11:04pm On Dec 29, 2015
Dear Mr Femi Fani-Kayode,
Like any other Nigerian, I read the impetuous and ill-thought
out diatribe, from you, against President Muhammadu
Buhari. I am writing as a concerned Nigerian; the
presidential spokesmen are at liberty to respond to you in a
manner they consider fitting and prosper.
When I read yours, my first reaction was like – oh, our
brother has gone mad again! Of course, it is a veiled
reference to the vestigial deleterious effect of prolonged and
unrestrained dealing in harmful drugs. The manner of your
summersaults – occasioned by the incoherence and
irascibility manifested in yours to the President - is clear
attestation to the permanence of the scar of previous
contacts with drugs, irrespective of various rehabilitative
interventions.
Before I respond to yours seriatim, it is necessary for me to
point out the perfidy in your belief that Nigerians have not
read your book and fully understood your well-rehearsed
approach to getting Presidential attention. In the early days
of the Obasanjo administration, you attacked the former
president with unfeigned savagery. Afterwards, you were
invited to serve as the former President’s attack dog – an
endeavor you undertook beyond expectation. Even the
Federal Law makers, in the performance of their
constitutional duties, were not spared from your vituperative
discontent. In that dispensation, any citizen that showed
courage in demurring with the politics or policy of your
principal, risked coming under the hammer of your caustic
tongue! For as long as former President Good-luck
Jonathan did not bring you into his government, you dished
out unceasing excoriation of his person. The moniker-
clueless President- was attributed to you. Shortly after you
were engrafted into his propaganda team, he became the
idol that all Nigerians should worship. It is therefore for this
reason that I see beyond your latest tantrums as merely
succumbing to relapsing effect of drug. You are indeed
plotting another scheme at ingratiating yourself into the
Buhari administration. Unfortunately for you, this current
President is too focused to be fazed by your excoriation or
applause You said: “your penchant for blaming your failings in this regard on the previous administration is simply nauseating and it does not serve you well.”
The fact of history which, neither you nor any of your co-
travellers in the business of historical revisionism can
controvert, is that Jonathan’s locust years have laid the
foundation for the current famine pervading the Nigerian
nation. You need to come clean on how much the Jonathan
administration gave you for the five months of verbal
assaults unleashed on the real and imaginary adversaries of
former President Jonathan! Furthermore, I do not want to
believe you have suddenly added selective amnesia into the
mix of the afflictions already ravaging your being. Was it
not Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh, former President
Jonathan’s appointee as Chief of Defense Staff, who said
shortly after retirement that the last time there was any
procurement of military hardware was during former
President Obasanjo’s regime? Is that not corroborated by
the supporting evidence of the office of National security
Adviser turning into cashier for funneling money set aside
for security purposes into the private pockets of PDP
zealots like yourself?
You said:
“when the British Minister of Defense visited you in the
Presidential Villa the other day the story changed. You did a U-turn and gleefully told him and the wider world that President Jonathan bought arms with raw cash.”
Given your admirable top British University education, you
are expected to show modicum of intelligence in your
response; the ease with which you recede into fatuousness
for selfish-centered reasons really rankles! So, you are now
unable to discern the use of sarcasm anymore? Which other
country, in our contemporary world, ever did arms’
procurement with raw cash in ‘Ghana- must- go bags’ as
Jonathan government? Is it not clear that the $9.3million
and the private jet used for the transportation are both
products of chicanery and dishonor?
You said:
“Despite the challenges and constraints President Jonathan
faced, instead of losing any more ground, he rose to the
occasion and retook no less than 22 local government areas
and virtually pushed Boko Haram out of Nigeria.”
Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, would you, for the purpose of clarity,
itemize the 22 local governments that Jonathan’s rag-tag
military rescued retook? Of course, Nigerians know that,
yours is merely mendacious spewing! You do not wish to be
taken seriously, do you?
You said:
“Instead of fighting Boko Haram, you are fighting and killing
your own people. Worse still you have refused to defend our
country. I say this because a few days ago the Cameroonian
military invaded our country, violated our territorial integrity and
savagely murdered over 70 innocent Nigerians in their village
before burning it down.”
The Lake Chad multinational force comprising – Nigeria,
Cameroon, Chad, Niger – was set up to foster cooperation
among these frontline countries bearing the brunt of Boko
Haram insurgency. It was part of the rules of engagement
for trans-border cooperation. In other words, the pursuit of
insurgents by any country can continue into the territory of
another country in the coalition. You have merely played
into the gallery with this one. Of course, Nigerians can truly
discern that, for a long time since independence, Nigeria
has just been blessed with a truly patriotic leader in
President Muhammadu Buhari.
It is easily discernible that you are going down in cash to
sustain your obviously ostentatious lifestyle. Let me remind
you that the days of reckoning are around the corner. It was
William Shakespeare who said: “The evil that men do live
after them.” I think your past misdeeds shall continue to
haunt you. What did you do to your older sibling, Atkins
Fani-Kayode? How did you treat your wife’s worker, Musa
Leshi, who almost went to jail for the environmental
transgression committed by your Ghanaian-born wife- Mrs
Regina Fani-kayode (nee Amoo) – and her company- MENU
INTERNATIONAL BAR/RESTAURANT situated at No 7
Randle Road Apapa, Lagos? See the bail bond document
below and ask yourself how it was perfected!
Let it be known to you that the gimmickry of your letter is
not lost on any one. The fact of the matter is that the Buhari
administration cannot have a character like you as an aide,
no matter how hard you try.
Perhaps, you may also have tried this attack mode as a way
of stymieing any future probe of the improper slice of the
national patrimony given to you by the Jonathan
government. This, too, has failed! This President,
Muhammadu Buhari, is a stickler for process, order and the
rule of law. Should there be need for you to answer
questions on your show of impunity in the past, please be
sure that there shall be no hesitation in doing so.
I wish you a happy new year ahead.
Rotimi Fashakin.
