Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister has reacted to the release of Zainab Aliyu, the Nigerian student detained in Saudi Arabia for alleged drugs trafficking.

Fani Kayode, in a tweet on Tuesday commended Buhari for the timely release of the Nigerian student.

He said “Securing the release of Zainab from execution in a Saudi prison is a great achievement by @MBuhari.She was due to be executed for a crime she never committed.

“Buhari saved her life by intervening and for the first time in 4 years I am proud to be a Nigerian! Welcome home Zainab.”

DAILY POST had reported that Saudi authority arrested Zainab over alleged drug trafficking.

It would be recalled that Buhari had directed that Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice to immediately intervene in the case of Zainab.

Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora matters, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, in a statement made available to DAILY POST, had said that the President gave the directive two weeks ago when the matter was brought to his attention.

She had said, “President Muhammadu Buhari gave the directive immediately the matter was brought to his attention about two weeks ago.

“My office has been working with the AGF as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in that regard.”

Mr President please the insecurity issues

Please declare state of emergency in that sector

Nigerians can’t survive with the pace of kidnappings and other security challenges

President of the north.

Zainab..Few days
Leah sharibu..still in captivity

This is what you get when you politicise terrorism.

Congrats Zainab, as long as your were innocent you didn't deserve such treatment

When sarrki turn blogger??


Una N-power no dey pay again

There is indeed a need to shove politics aside and commend the FG on the quick intervention and release of the lady presumed to be innocent.

I therefore suggest that the unscrupulous officials who allegedly planted the drug in her luggage should be bundled to Saudi to face the hangman's noose.

FGN did a good thing

Table shaker

confused pipu

OBJ always called fani kayode an ass licker and again he's right...

When has buhari ever stood up for a non Muslim?

So this man Could have something to proud of about Buhari. ?

Is it not because she's a northern Muslim?
Where's Leah sharibu?

Good @Mbuhari, more of this great representation

Happy New Month to all Nairalanders.

Abike deserves an accolade.

FG did well. I am surprised, honestly.

But the gesture should be extended to ALL Nigerians. Those found guilty can go ahead and pay for it.

We have been waiting for this quick action for Leah Sharibu that is within the country but looks like Saudi is closer now.

Hope not that FFK needs money to feed his family

Because she's from the north.

who cares?

I know a president that will not give a flying f**k until the girl is killed. This very same situation happened to a young man back in 2010 and he was later killed. His mother cried and cried that her son is innocent but no one came to her aid.
Last last she started begging Saudi to at least release her son's body for her to give him a proper burial.
The moment our government starts treating human life as if they matter, that is when we will start making progress on security in this country.

Congratulations Zainab, next time, check your beg well and don't go to Saudi again.

Congrats.
