Femi Fani-Kayode has criticized President Buhari over the recent detention of his wife, Precious.
Precious
was reportedly detained at a bank in Ekiti on Monday, October 18, along
with the couple’s eight-month old son, Aragorn on the orders of the (EFCC).
Fani-Kayode made his comments via an article titled “A hater of women and a president from the dark ages.”
The article reads:
“Yea
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil
for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”- Psalm 23.
I
recited this scripture three times and waited on the Lord quietly and
calmly when I heard that my wife and son had been unlawfully apprehended
and detained in a bank in faraway Ado Ekiti on the orders of the EFCC
whilst I was in Lagos.
Somebody should tell Mumu
Buhari to stop sending his goons to abduct other people’s wives and 8
month old infant babies and to stop trying to traumatize them, lock them
up and destroy their lives simply because they are married to or
fathered by opposition politicians and those he hates.
He
should leave my wife, Precious Chikwendu, my 8 month old son Aragorn
and other members of my family alone, face me directly and be a man.
Even in war the wives and children of the enemy are out of bounds.
The
truth is that Buhari is nothing more than a coward and a bully and he
will suffer the consequences of his actions because God will punish him.
I give thanks to the Living God, the fearless lion that is known as
Governor Ayo Fayose and the good people of Ado Ekiti for saving the
lives of my loved ones and protecting them from the barbaric and illegal
actions and tyranny of the fascists of the EFCC.
I
have nothing but contempt for these people. They are the scum of the
earth and by the time this is all over they will know that I serve a
mighty God. Despite the threats, persecution, violence and intimidation
that my family and I have been subjected to over the last one year my
opposition to the Buhari government remains implacable and unrelenting
and I refuse to be silenced.
I said that Buhari
was an evil man right from the outset and that he would prove to be an
incompetent and disastrous President if elected into office and I have
been proved right.
If he and his security forces
are not killing Shiite Muslims, marginalizing Christians, silencing and
intimidating critics, locking up members of the opposition, storming the
homes of judges or threatening bloggers and journalists they are
sponsoring Fulani militants and herdsmen to commit acts of barbarity and
terror against their fellow Nigerians.
If they
are not impoverishing Nigerians, decimating the economy or freezing the
bank accounts of innocent men and women and their family members they
are tormenting, abducting and locking up the wives, infants and babies
of opposition figures.
If they are not
intimidating and charging leaders of the Senate and other senior
legislators to court on trumped up charges, murdering IPOB youths,
butchering Niger Deltans, humiliating and cheating their own party
leaders or discrediting and jailing dissenters they are denigrating
women and confining them to the kitchen and bedroom.
Buhari
has divided our country along ethnic, religious and regional lines as
never before and he has subjected the Nigerian people to levels of
starvation, deprivation, poverty and suffering that were hitherto
unknown.
And it is not just southerners and
Christians that are feeling the pinch and suffering the pain and
affliction. Millions of northern Muslims are feeling it as well. If
anyone doubts that I challenge Buhari to walk the streets of Kano today
and see what happens.
One wonders how things got
so bad? One wonders what engendered this terrible affliction and what
attracted this deep-rooted curse of a government? One wonders how a
country of 180 million resilient, hard-working, educated, enterprising,
adventurous, courageous, cheerful, charitable, forgiving, kind,
God-loving, God-fearing and strong-willed people ended up with a
President from the dark ages like this?
Even
members of the President's own constituency in the core north, his
leading party members from all over the country, his greatest allies and
erstwhile friends and now his beautiful young wife are complaining
bitterly and openly. They are all wailing as loudly and as frantically
as the traditional wailers of the wailing opposition.
The
response of the President is to dismiss their concerns with contempt
and to describe his young wife as nothing more than something akin to a
kitchen maid, a glorified cook and a slavish bed wench before a shocked
German audience and an utterly dumbfounded world.
His
media aides and apologists tried to spin the whole thing by suggesting
that he was just joking but this did not go down well with Mumu Buhari.
The very next day he told yet another group of foreign journalists that
he meant every word of what he had said earlier and that as far as he
was concerned "women had no place in politics" and they belonged to the
"kitchen and the bedroom".
Now the question is
this? How can any sane man describe his wife as only being fit for the
kitchen and the bedroom let alone the President of the largest and most
densely populated black nation on earth? What does that tell the world
about us as a people? How is that supposed to make our women feel? Does
the President know the damage he has done to us by that single statement
which he made in distant Germany at the very heart of the European
Union?
One of his media aides has already told us
that he cannot read newspapers and that he can only manage to comprehend
the cartoon section of any paper but even at that his latest comments
go beyond the pale.
By his shameful and ignorant
assertions about women in Germany Buhari has confirmed the fact that he
has no respect for himself, for his people, for his continent, for his
women or even for his host, Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is a woman and
her German people. Not only did he say those shameful things about his
wife and women but he also said it in Merkel's presence and on German
soil.
No wonder there was deep outrage in Germany
and indeed throughout Europe and the civilized world and no wonder
leading feminist and human rights organizations and respected members of
the German community were demanding for his expulsion from that
country.
It is only in Nigeria that some ignorant,
sorry and hapless opportunists and hungry government apologists,
freeloaders and beggars tried to play the whole thing down by claiming
that the President was "just joking". Shameless are those who say so.
The
bitter truth is as follows: Nigeria is being run by a small cabal of
hardened, violent, merciless, paranoid, incompetent, relentless,
cow-loving religious bigots who are also closet paedophiles, chronic
misogynists and ravenous sodomites. Such people are happy to marry
nine-year old brides and to confine their wives to the kitchen and
bedroom for the rest of their lives.
Such people
hate criticism or opposition in any shape or form because they believe
that being in power confers some degree of divinity and deification upon
them. Such people believe that to challenge their authority is to
challenge God and they see themselves not as elected servants of the
people but as divinely ordained representatives of God on earth.
Such
people believe in crushing, destroying, humiliating, killing and
jailing their perceived enemies and political adversaries for no just
cause the moment they feel threatened or intimidated. Yet the truth is
as follows: no matter how many Sambo Dasukis, Nnamdi Kanus, El Zak
Zakys, Olisa Metuhs, Justice Niyi Ademolas, Warimpo Dudafas, Patience
Jonathans, Ayo Fayoses, Nyesome Wikes, Seriake Dicksons, Iyiola
Omisores, Segun Mimikos, Robert Azibolas, Bukola Sarakis, Bola Tinubus,
Ike Ekweremadus, Femi Fani-Kayodes, Goodluck Jonathans, Cletus Ibetos,
Ayo Adeseuns, Precious Chikwendus, Bintu Dasukis, Patrick Akpobolokemis,
Kimes or any of the thousands of others that you constantly malign,
harass, falsely accuse, lock up, terrorize, intimidate, charge,
traumatize, demonize, malign, misrepresent, beat, spit upon, insult or
humiliate, your time is running out and you cannot escape God's wrath
and judgment.
No matter how many of their family
members you seek to shame, humiliate, traumatize, pauperize, break and
bring to their knees it changes nothing and it cannot slow down the
ticking of the clock or stop the disaster that is coming your way. The
truth is that the fear has gone and no-one is intimidated by you, your
goons, your henchmen and your security agencies any longer.
The
worst you can do is to kill us all in order to remain in power and even
if you do that others will rise up against you in our stead. As the
great American freedom fighter, founding father and patriot Thomas
Jefferson said, "the tree of liberty is watered by the blood of
patriots and tyrants". Again as another great American patriot by the
name of Patrick Henry once said "give me liberty or give me death".
Yet
the clock is ticking and your time is almost up. I pray that you repent
before it is too late. I say this not out of malice or in an attempt to
seek revenge but with love and compassion from the bottom of my heart. I
say it by the leading of the Holy Spirit of the Living God. If you do
not repent and desist I assure you that the very pit that you are
digging for others may well be your final resting place.
No
man is greater than the Living God and no government can successfully
and indefinitely resist the will of the people. In your attempt to
silence me, God will silence you. It is just a matter of time before the
good Lord strikes back and pulls you down. Why? Because your wickedness
knows no bounds and because you take pleasure and delight in it.
Why?
Because there is a God in Heaven who rules in the affairs of men. Why?
Because you have touched the anointed of the Lord and you have troubled
His beloved people. Why? Because He is the father of the fatherless, the
defender of the weak, the provider of the needy and the husband of the
widow. Why? Because the Nigerian people are praying morning, night and
day that your cancerous evil and reckless insensitivity and brutality
must be brought to an end.
This
is a wake-up call and your final warning. Desist from troubling the
Nigerian people Mr. President and stop trying to destroy the lives of
innocent men and women. If you do not God will not only bring you to
your knees and humiliate you to a point of ridicule and contempt but he
will also sweep away your government, remove all your clothes and strip
you naked before the entire world.
In your
desperate attempt to silence me, the Lord of Hosts and the Ancient of
Days will silence you. Thus sayest the Spirit of the Most High God and
His zeal shall surely perform it. Sooner than later He will deliver us
from this evil and wicked President who hails from the Dark Ages.
Sooner than later He will rescue us from the cruel and unrelenting claws
of the Dark Angel that presides over the affairs of our land. Blessed
be His name forever.
