Fani-Kayode Defends Bala Mohammed, Says Ortom’s Comment Uncharitable

Date:

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, says it is uncharitable for Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State to label his Bauchi State counterpart, Bala Mohammed, as a ‘terrorist governor’.

Fani-Kayode made this known in a string of tweets on Monday hours after Ortom was reportedly calling Mohammed a Fulani terror member for saying herdsmen bear AK-47 rifles for self-defence.

The ex-minister, who also claim that he could name at least two terrorist governors, however did not mention the names of such governors.

Fani-Kayode wrote, “We must choose our battles wisely and know who our real enemies are. I have disagreed with my friend and brother, Gov. Bala Mohammed, on several occasions over the years and I do not share his views on a number of issues but to describe him as a terrorist is uncharitable and absurd.

“This is a man who stands up for
Southerners, Middle Belters and Christians as much as he stands up for Northern Muslims. It is fair to say that had it not been for his efforts President Goodluck Jonathan may not have become President after President Yaradua died.

“His role in the Senate at that time in ensuring that the then Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan was declared Acting President was exemplary and inspiring. Bala may sometimes say things that many in the South disagree with but his spirit is clean and his mind is pure.
