Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has faulted the
claims by ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo saying those agitating for Biafra
should stop because “there is enough cake to share.
Recall that Obasanjo had during the Biafra conference held
in Abuja on Thursday, noted that dialogue was a sure way to resolving the issue
of agitation for an independent Igbo nation.
Obasanjo had said, ”But I think, we should even appeal to
those saying they want to go, we should not tell them to go, we should make
them understand that there is enough cake to share. We should massage Nigeria
just like in a love relationship.”
Reacting to Obasanjo’s comment, the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Chieftain describe the remark as “insulting.”
In a series of tweets on his social media handle @realFFK, Fani-Kayode
wrote: “I believe that it is the height of naivety and deeply insulting to say
that the way to stop the Biafran agitation is to offer the Igbo cake.
“Give them cake? This reminds me of the words of Queen Marie
Antoinette of France before the revolution. That is EXACTLY what she said too.”
