Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has hit back at social media comments in which Yoruba people were described as traitors because of Otunba Gbenga Daniel’s decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Daniel was the first Director General of the campaign organisation of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the February 23 presidential election.
He resigned his membership of the PDP and quit partisan politics late last week but announced he could be joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) a day after writing a resignation letter to the National Chairman of PDP.
Since then, some Nigerians have taken to social media to blast the ex-Ogun governor, and calling Yoruba people “snitches”.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode said, “To say the Yoruba are traitors because of OGD (Otunba Gbenga Daniel) is absurd.
“At best it is uncharitable and at worse it is asinine. It is like saying the Igbo are ritualists because of Rochas or that the core northerners are mass murderers because of Shekau:it is an insolent and childish assertion.”
