Former aide to Ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has reacted to the nomination of the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, as an ambassador.
In 2019, Fani-Kayode who dumped the APC for the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, had described the party as “a filthy, rat-infested sinking ship.”
The former Minister, who was rumoured to have secretly joined the party at the time, issued a statement on Twitter where he mocked the APC, describing it as the “Almajiri Peoples Congress.”
He said, “The suggestion that I joined the APC is false and insulting. Those that are peddling this fake news should bury their heads in shame. With what we have witnessed. I would rather die than join a filthy, rat-infested sinking ship like the Almajiri Peoples Congress (APC).
“Those that claim that I have joined them and seek to link my good name to such a bloodthirsty, blood-lusting, accursed political association of Boko Haramists, Fulani herdsmen, genocidal maniacs, ethnic cleansers, mass murderers, ethnic supremacists, religious bigots, cow-lovers and corrupt treasury looters that have brought nothing but death, division, misery, poverty, incompetence, shame and destruction to our nation and our people will burn in hell forever!
He went on to add, “I am committed to opposing the APC and those that are in their ranks for the rest of my natural life and I will never join them no matter what! They are nothing but darkness whilst I stand for the light of God and truth. There can be no fellowship between light and darkness.”
A year and some months later, Fani-Kayode’ is now an ambassador serving under the APC.
In further reaction, the former Presidential aide Ahmad tweeted, “If I were him, in the first place, I would never even think of joining the Almajiri People Congress.”
Ahmad said this in response to a 2014 tweet by Fani-Kayode where he said, “The APC is the political wing of Boko Haram and Boko Haram is the military wing of the APC. Say NO to the Haramite murderers and barbarians.”
