The United States has finally taken notice of President Muhammadu Buhari’s abuse of power especially the illegal apprehension and detention of critics, disobedience to court orders, and attempts to clampdown freedom of speech through moves to regulate the social media.
Since becoming president, attacks on Christians in the country particularly in the North, has soared. Multiple sources had alleged military collusion with the assailants to wreck havoc on innocent Nigerians in the predominantly Christian community in some parts of the North especially in Kaduna State.
The President has recently won a second term in office with the help of a compromised INEC and the Judiciary, and is in full swing, in pursuit of his perceived secret agenda.
The US has now taken a further step by placing Nigeria on its Special Watch List (SWL) of countries that have engaged in or tolerated “severe violations of religious freedom", yet the same Buhari government is carelessly running its mouth through rebuttals by its official mouthpieces, Lai Mohammed, Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina.
Adesina on his own part, said, “In international relations, you respect the internal affairs of other countries. The U.S. itself has enough to chew solving its own problems not to talk of poke-nosing into that of another country.”
“No man, no country, nobody has appointed them the policeman of the world, let them face their own issues.”
But reacting to Buhari's arrogance, Fani Kayode particularly took aim at Lai Mohammed by calling him a 'goat that once bleated to the nation that he had "never told a lie before" in his entire life'.
He said, "If there was ever a misplaced, misguided, inelegant, impolite, inappropriate, unacceptable and wholly irresponsible response to a very serious issue from a senior Government official this is it. And in his characteristic manner Lai Mohammed has once again outdone himself with his dirty and habitual lies.
"Yet the truth is that Lai Mohammed is a pathological liar and a very sick man. Like satan, "he was a liar, the father of lies and a murderer from the start". Lying comes natuarlly to him because that is his nature, that is his name and that is what he came to the world to do.
"It is trite to say that not only are the Americans right about the vicious and murderous persecution that Christians are faced with in parts of Nigeria but they are also right about their fears for Christians and religious persecution in our country. We as Nigerian Christians welcome their concern and I am glad to see that CAN has said so publicly.
"For example on his own part, the village idiot of Aso Rock, Mr. Femi Adesina, the Special Advisor to President Buhari on Media and Publicity said,
"Strong and predictable words yet why would anyone be surprised about such an obnoxious, shallow, specious and pernicious contribution from this certified dullard. After all this is the same man that said that we should either give up our land to the Fulani herdsmen or give up our lives.
"On Christmas eve and Christmas day in 2016 alone no less than 800 defenceless Christians, including women and children, were slaughtered in their homes by Fulani herdsmen yet the Federal Government which Femi serves did not arrest or prosecute any of the perpetrators and terrorists but instead turned a blind eye to their inhuman and barbaric behaviour. And this has been the pattern since 2015!
"Today it is a different story simply because they believe that they have sufficiently cowed the Nigerian people into accepting anything including the most barbarous atrocities.
