Former Nigerian Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said the spokesperson of Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Prof. Ango Abdullahi is calling for war.
The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said, Abdullahi was courting disaster for his people.
Fani-Kayode made the statement while responding to claims by the NEF spokesperson that Fulani herdsmen cannot be killed.
Tweeting on Sunday, the former Nigerian Minister described the former lecturer as a “cold-blooded, blood-thirsty” individual.
His words: “I read Prof. Ango Abdullahi’s interview in which he told us” why Fulani herdsmen MUST kill”. This man is playing with fire and he is courting disaster for his people.
“He is also begging for war. I am disgusted and appalled by his cold-blooded, blood-thirsty and blood-lusting mindset.”
Abdullahi, while justifying the killings by herdsmen, had said herdsmen are killing members of their host communities in order to defend themselves.
He noted that the herders were free to take their cattle to any part of the country, the same way an Igbo man does his business.
