"If you want the Igbo to stay & Nigeria to remain one, then treat us all as equals" - Femi Fani-Kayode
In a message addressed to President Buhari, former minister
of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode reacted to the 'Forget about Biafra'
statement the President made while speaking with some NYSC members who
paid him a visit at his home in Daura, Katsina state during the Sallah
holidays. FFK wrote:
"You bathed in the blood of Biafrans, you crushed their bones and stripped away their dignity and self-respect just to keep Nigeria one.
Now you say their children have no right to ask for self-determination simply because you killed their fathers and mothers during the war and shattered their dreams.
Shame on you. If Nigeria was a normal country by now you
would have been at the ICC answering charges of genocide and crimes
against humanity at the Hague instead of being President.
If you want the Igbo or any other southerner to stay and if
u want Nigeria to remain one then treat us all as equals, offer our
children and our people equal opportunities and a public apology and pay
full compensation for all the atrocities that you, your people and your
forefathers have committed against the people of the south and the
northern minorities over the last two hundred years.
In addition to that you must defeat, destroy and dismantle
Boko Haram, decommission your Fulani militias and herdsmen and put a
stop to the marginalisation, threats, genocide, ethnic cleansing and
mass murder of our people.
It is after you have done all these things that you can make an appeal to us for the continued unity of Nigeria.
Outside of that the Nigerian baby you are carrying and
saying that you killed and died for during the civil war is already
dead. It is only waiting to be buried."
