Letter: You Dare Not Arrest Obasanjo – Fani-Kayode Cautions

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has berated Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over its call for the arrest of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The National Secretary of the group Alhassan Saleh had called for the arrest of the former president over what they alleged as   hatred targeted at Fulani extraction laced in the latest open letter written by the elder statesman to President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Saleh, “The earlier they get him (Obasanjo) arrested and dealt with, according to the laws of the land, the better. He doesn’t mean well for the country.”

However, Femi Kayode, in a statement, described the call for Obasanjo’s arrest as “reckless, irresponsible, dangerous and unacceptable.”

He dared Buhari to arrest Obasanjo, while noting that the former president was trying to ensure that Nigeria is not thrown into another civil war with reference to the Yugoslavia and Rwanda cases.

“I dare Buhari to go ahead and arrest Obasanjo and do your bidding. That is when you will know that even a madman has relatives. You are sitting on a time-bomb and playing with fire.”

“Miyetti Allah’s call for the arrest of Obasanjo is reckless, irresponsible, dangerous and unacceptable.

“He has warned against a violent Yugoslavia-type break-up of the country and a Rwandan-type genocide if things don’t change. Arresting him for speaking this bitter truth will only push us closer to that scenario,” he said.
