A Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned that Nigeria will disintegrate if President Muhammadu Buhari uses military might to tackle the Niger Delta insurgency.



Fani-Kayode said this in a post he shared on his Facebook wall on Saturday.

He wrote, “On 29th July 2016, CNN reported that “the Nigerian government is preparing troops for a crackdown in the Niger Delta if peace talks fail”.

 ”This is sad and ominous. As United States Senator Ted Cruz once said, “The light of truth is stronger than the terror of darkness.”

”It follows that the biggest mistake that the Buhari administration can possibly make is to attempt to ‘crack down’ on the Niger Delta and kill innocent civilians.

“If this ever happens, for whatever reason, it will set off a chain of events that will lead to the end of Nigeria as we know it. Nigeria will disintegrate before Buhari’s very eyes if any more innocent blood is shed and if the towns, creeks and villages of the oil-producing states are shelled and reduced to rubble.”
