Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has faulted statement credited to ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo, that that the way to stop the Biafran agitation is to offer the Igbo cake.
Obasanjo had on Thursday, May 25, in Abuja at a Colloquim on 50 years of Biafra organised by the Yar’Adua Foundation appealed to those agitating for a Biafra state to shelve such request.
“There is enough cake for each of us. “And, if what you are asking for is more of the cake, then ask in a way that is pleasant, not in a way that can make others feel that you are not entitled to what you are asking for,” Obasanjo said.
In reaction however, Fani-Kayode in a tweet described Obasanjo’s comments as insulting to the Igbo. The former minister warned that Obasanjo’s statement is reminiscent of the words of Queen Marie Antoinette of France before the revolution.
