If you understand Hausa, and watch the video, you will see that Kayemo is just fooling himself.
There was no time leading to that statement that rice farming was mentioned.
He plainly said, "eat and be full, be ready that day, if it is fight/cause mayhem(fitna) go ahead and fight/cause mayhem(fitna).
A president an say such. It is bad.

Caseless:
cool

PDP is cursed. They try to make political capital out of everything - even this joke.

So it makes sense to you that a president who has been unable to provide a solution to the crisis bedeviling a state which started under his tenure, would be making useless jokes over such crisis? Zamfara had been peaceful till Buhari took over power in 2015. Now, hundreds of their people have been killed and thousands displaced. The same president goes to campaign in their state and instead of giving them words of comfort, chooses to make a joke out of their calamity. You're heartless!

The campaign council of President Muhammadu Buhari has said the comment made by Mr Buhari in Zamfara State was a “joke”.

The opposition had condemned the president’s comments as an incitement.

Mr Buhari, while concluding his remarks in Hausa at a campaign rally in Gusau, Zamfara State on Sunday, said he was happy that the nation had two rainy seasons that enabled farmers to make good yield.

He then prayed for another fruitful rainy season. “What I actually want is for everyone to feed well and as for those who want to continue with their “fitna”, (they) can go ahead”.

The word “fitna” in Hausa literally mean “crisis” and because Zamfara state is experiencing insecurity as a result of the activities of bandits who daily kill and kidnap citizens of the state, many interpret his comments as a call to continued violence.

The candidate of the major opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, speaking in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Monday, said the comments by Mr Buhari was “unpresidential”.

In a statement on Tuesday, the spokesperson of the Buhari campaign organisation, Festus Keyamo, said typical of the Atiku campaign, “they have continued in their favourite pastime of peddling falsehood, scaremongering and misinformation”.

Mr Keyamo said the comment by Mr Abubakar accusing the president of promoting violence was false.

“The Hausa word the President used in Zamfara, which has been taken out of context, is “fitna”.

“Incidentally all our Hausa language scholars have said the word means different things: it means distress, trial, affliction or temptation. It can also be used to describe rebellion or uprising.

“In this case, President Buhari was actually weighing in on the joke told very often of recent in the North that due to the rice boom, farmers have embarked on pilgrimage and the marrying of more wives.

“So, what the President meant was actually a joke deliberately taken out of context: he simply told the crowd to ensure they eat very well because of the rice boom before they can contemplate giving in to those temptations,” Mr Keyamo said.

The campaign spokesperson said even in some private meetings with the campaign team, Mr Buhari has always commented on this joke.

“Sadly, out of desperation, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has decided to peddle falsehood.

“We urge Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to realize that it is God Almighty that gives power and takes power. He should not use his palpable desperation to return to power (in order to sell Nigeria to his “friends” and to make them rich) to set this nation ablaze by outright falsehood,” Mr Keyamo said.

Okay Let's just pretend the president was actually joking....why would a president of a country "joke" with the situation at zamfara state?
No matter what any one says,such statements are not only risky but irresponsible!

Can U imagine!! A joke? So d crisis d state is experiencing is a joking matter? These ppl no jus get sense and shame.. Somebody asked those wrecking havoc in d state to continue and U guys claim it's a joke.. And imagine d hopeless explanations dis Keyamo is giving.. Keyamo who is neither an Hausa man nor from d north trying to give d contextual meaning of an Hausa word.. Seriously all APC ppl are jus plain mad


If you people decide to decontextualize the president at statement go ahead.

I am a student and I understand arabic language to an extent. The word 'fitna' have several shades of meaning and can be used depending upon the statement of a speaker. So,based on this the president's statement was not in any way encouraging ''crisis'' like the write up indicates. He was merely saying,like we would say to anybody here in the south that if the person isn't happy about so-and-so thing he should go hug and transformer. Does it mean we are saying the person to get electrocuted? No. We simply telling the person to skive .As in, get out or go to some place and fix himself.

That's the joke in the president's statement.

I am wondering why you people are just all over the place on the president's case.

Trust desperate PDP to try to twist the story.
Hope buhari and his supporters will move on.. Just like it happened in 2011 its still fresh in our heart.. The killings of people and burning churches just because he lost.. We have not forgotten that. The youth Corp members murdered by his supporters. The killing of 9 family members of Gombe State PDP chairman Sunday after the election onf Friday. The high way chase they gave to our bishop that Sunday, the cancelation of weac physics practical we had that day (we still pass) with the gun shot all around us because of buhari supporters. He never said anything to them no apology nothing, buhari is a sore loser. I will bet with my life that his supporters like you will smoke gutter to get high and start destroying things when he loses and I pray u all lose your life like those who did in 2011, they where killed like chickens and buhari children ate still alive to eat from the national cake. The poor in the north r the most easily deceive people, tell them Allah will reward them or it's Allah will and give them sadaka, they will worship you like fools that they are. For Nigeria to be better, the north will get education first then we can hope they change and have a right mind set for good, but we can only hope cos elrufi is educated.

fitna is more akin to crisis & rebellion, especially against constituted authority.

if you are truly whom you say you are, you would know that it was wrong to use that word... especially not in a place that has recently experienced bloodshed...
