Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister and member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in an open letter to President Buhari among other things highlighted Buhari’s alleged contempt for the Igbos, stating how they were massacred in the civil war and how another civil war is imminent, if Buhari doesn’t address their agitations. Analyzing this letter, INFORMATION NIGERIA has highlighted five things that shows that Fani-Kayode may be inciting the Igbos against Buhari…
– Fani-Kayode in the letter wrote that it is an incontrovertible fact that in just seven months your government has succeeded in marginalizing the Igbo more than any other Federal Government in living memory and certainly since the civil war”.
– He played up the importance of the Igbos and how they have not received what their contribution deserves from Nigeria. In the letter he said “Mr. President I do not believe that this is too much for them to ask given the fact that they have contributed, perhaps more than most, to national development and integration in the last forty five years?”
– He added” “It is not too much to ask given the fact that no less than three million of their people, including one million innocent children, were slaughtered during our civil war in the name of keeping Nigeria one? I have no doubt that you will remember this very well Mr. President given the fact that you were one of those that prosecuted that war and fought in it.”
– He also said: “You will also remember the brutal mass murder and the war crimes and crimes against humanity that were perpetrated against the unarmed and defenseless Igbo civilian population of Asaba in 1968 when over one thousand of them were rounded up, taken to the town square and shot to death for no just cause.”
– Finally he worte “The truth is that regardless of the obvious contempt that you have for them the Igbo will continue to insist on justice, fairness and on having their rights respected in our country.”
