Fani-Kayode attacks Buhari for accusing Muammar Gaddafi of training ‘killer herdsmen’

Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, on Thursday blasted
President Muhammadu Buhari for blaming activities of herdsmen in
Nigeria on the late Libyan dictator, Muammar Gaddafi.

Speaking with the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace Justin Welby in
London, on Wednesday, Buhari had said the herdsmen were trained and
armed by Gaddafi.

Buhari had said, "The problem is even older than us. It has always
been there, but now made worse by the influx of armed gunmen from the
Sahel region into different parts of the West African sub-region.
These gunmen were trained and armed by Muammar Gadaffi of Libya. When
he was killed, the gunmen escaped with their arms.

"We encountered some of them fighting with Boko Haram. Herdsmen that
we used to know carried only sticks and maybe a cutlass to clear the
way, but these ones now carry sophisticated weapons. The problem is
not religious, but sociological and economic. But we are working on
solutions."

Reacting to the president's remark, the former minister stated that
Buhari should be bury his head in shame after had previously accused
former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan of
sponsoring the killer group.

In a tweet, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain insisted that
herdsmen were the president's 'boys'

Fani-Kayode wrote, "First you blamed Goodluck Jonathan for the
herdsmen, then you blamed Obasanjo, and now you are blaming Gaddafi.

"Have you no shame? None of those you are blaming are Fulani and none
is a member of Miyetti Allah.

"You are both Fulani and u are Life Patron of Miyetti Allah.The
herdsmen are your boys.Blame Yourself!"
