‘Jonathan’s administration is the worst Nigeria has ever seen’ – Femi Fani Kayode

Former Aviation minister and opposition member, Femi Fani-Kayode has called the Goodluck Jonathan administration one of the worst Nigeria has ever seen.

He made the remarks in Illorin yesterdayafter attending a remembrance for the late politician, Dr. Sola Saraki.

He said: “My views are clearly well known about President Jonathan’s administration. There is no point in inflaming passion. They are very sensitive. If you say anything negative about them, they get upset and begin to haul abuses.

“But let me give you straight: this is probably one of the worst governments this country has ever known in terms of corruption and infrastructural provision. I think it is incumbent on every right-thinking Nigerian, whether in the G-7, the New Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressives Congress (APC) or any other party, to get them out of office. That is our objective.”

Speaking on the designation of Boko Haram as a terror group, FFK said, “One wonders why it took the Barack Obama administration so long; probably because our government is not fighting Boko Haram strongly enough. We have complained about this in the last two years. Perhaps, if our government had made the effort to encourage the Americans to take this step as far back as a year or two ago, we would have saved many lives.

“But we have lost 7,000 Nigerians in the last two years because of the weakness of our government and because the Americans refused to do the right thing and designate the group as a terrorist organisation. “I am glad they have done it now. Let’s hope things will change.”
