Jonathan’s Govt Is Run On Lies – Fani-Kayode
Former aviation minister Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has described the presidential adviser on political matters, Ali Gulak, as a “liar for the president,” and labelled the Jonathan-led government as one run on the “wheels of lies.”
Chief Fani-Kayode made these comments in reaction to the statement credited to Gulak where he described Chief Fani-Kayode as “an attacker of any government in power.”
According to Fani-Kayode, “I call the government of Goodluck Jonathan a failure; if the president thinks I am wrong, let him or one of his cerebral ministers respond to me, not Gulak. Who is Gulak? I don’t trade words with minions.”
In a statement made available to LEADERSHIP yesterday, Fani-Kayode said: “Gulak said I attacked Obasanjo’s government, a government and president that I proudly served and that I have defended for the last 10 years of my life. “Please, let him provide the evidence of that attack on Obasanjo’s policies, record in public office and performance in government between 2003 and 2013 or he should forever shut his mouth and be damned. He cannot do so because it never happened. What he said is false. He is a liar.”
He called on Nigerians to do all they can to get the present administration out of office come 2015, because it thrives on lies.
“Jonathan’s government is a government of lies that is run and supported by liars and we need to get them out in 2015 in order to save Nigeria.
“People just don’t realise how bad things are. Recently, a UNESCO survey placed Nigeria on top of the list of nations with out-of-school children – 10.5million of them – because they lacked access to classrooms and have to take lessons under trees.
“Why should we be ranked with nations like Pakistan (5.4 million), Ethiopia (1.7 million), India (1.6 million) and the Philippines (1.5 million), when we have so much oil wealth.”
The former aviation minister wondered why the federal government could not build classrooms for 10.5 million of our school children with all all the money that has accrued to the federal government in the last five years.
Fani-Kayode also lambasted the present administration for its unconcern about the fact that 80 per cent of Nigerian graduates are now unemployed and that 70 per cent of the Nigerian people are living below the poverty line according to the UN.
“Abusing Fani-Kayode will not change any of those facts or improve their image and abysmal performance. They should stick to the relevant issues and provide better governance for the Nigerian people for the last two years that they will remain in power, rather than spending their time on me,” he said.
