[READ] Femi Olu-Kayode Writes An Open Letter To President Buhari

The former Aviation Minister Femi Olu-Kayode wrote the letter on his Facebook page this afternoon. I hope the president gets to read this too…Read below

Mr. President, as one of your most loyal and faithful subjects who has nothing but the utmost respect for your person and your office, I am constrained to write you this open letter. This is because there are a number of issues that I believe that it is important for you to clarify and to come clean on.
I say this because some of your assertions of late are at best contradictory and at worst patently dishonest.
Whichever side of the political divide we are on I believe that we can all agree on one thing: that the prosecution of the war against terror is not something that any of us should play politics with. This is especially so given the fact that human lives are at stake and the very existence of our nation is under threat. Like much of the rest of the world our country is going through hell at the hands of the jihadists and Islamist terrorists.

Ijaw Youths Condemn Re-Arrest Of Ex-NIMASA DG, Says Buhari Persecuting Political Enemies

Here’s the Press Statement from Ijaw Youth Council (IYC)

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide condemn in the strongest terms the manhandling of the former Director General of NIMASA, Mr. Patrick Akpobulokemi by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) at the premises of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. The conduct of the security operatives is reminiscent of the military era and it is the height of impunity which must be condemned by all lovers of democracy.

The IYC states that Mr. Akpobulokemi having been granted bail on two occasions by courts of law, there is no basis why the EFCC resorted to force in re-arresting him. The conduct of the EFCC in physically beating up and throwing Akpobulokemi into their vehicle clearly shows that the Buhari led federal government is not fighting corruption but persecution of political enemies.

Nigerians would recall that during the presidential campaigns, Mr. Akpobulokemi was accused of sponsoring hate campaigns against General Buhari, hence the IYC is not surprised that the Mr. Akpobulokemi is now being subjected to such cruel treatment.
