Former Aviation Minister,
Femi Fani-Kayode, has
assured victims of killings in
the Northern minority and
the middle Belt that Southern
Nigeria would never abandon
them.
In his speech delivered on
Saturday to the Christian
Information Network Forum,
Jos, Plateau State, Fani-
Kayode said he identified
strongly the suffering of
families of those killed or
wounded by violent
herdsmen.
The speech made available
to DAILY POST reads in
parts: “I appreciate the
barbarity and injustice of the
ruthless persecution that
they have been subjected to
from those that have kept
them in bondage and
subjugation for over 200
years.
“As a matter of fact, I
regard myself as being as
much of a northern Christian
as anyone else in this forum
and when one of our own is
killed by the Islamists and
terrorists in our country, it
hurts and pains me to the
very marrow.
“These are my people that
are being slaughtered as
much as they are yours. If
Nigeria were ever to break
up we will ensure that the
northern minorities and the
Middle Belt come with the
south.
“We will never leave you in
the hands of our collective
enemies and we will never
abandon you. When Nigeria
is either redefined or
restructured: that is when
your true liberation begins.
“When it comes to suffering
injustice, marginalisation,
mass murder, ethnic
cleansing and genocide you
have suffered more than any
other.
“It is only the Igbo people of
the south-east that have
been subjected to the kind of
wickedness that your people
have been subjected to by
the Nigerian state and those
that have controlled it since
independence.
“The only difference is that
they literally took your
identities away from you
whilst they couldn’t do that
to the Igbo who, till today,
are still fighting hard for
self-determination.
“It is our intention to right
the wrongs of the past and
to help to liberate you. It is
our intention to encourage
and support you in your
quest for emancipation and
freedom in this historic
fight.”
The outspoken politician
further urged Christians and
other peace loving Nigerians
affected by violence in the
North to remain steadfast.
“No matter how bad things
get, always hold your heads
up high, never bow before
them, never show them fear,
never let them break you
and always remember that
our God is mighty and that it
shall be well.
“No mattter what violence
they inflict upon you, no
matter what indignities they
subject you and yours to
and no matter who or what
they take away from you
never forget that on Christ
the solid rock we stand, all
other ground is sinking sand:
all other ground is sinking”,
he added.
