Stop acting like the king of the NORTH and behave like president of Nigeria-Fani Kayode Tells Buhari.

  
The more this government persecutes its perceived enemies, the more they are sowing the seeds of disintegration of our country.

No-one wishes to be part of a country in which apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing, Islamization, state-sponsored terror and religious bigotry and the selective application of justice is alive and well.

If you want a country to remain together you do not go out of your way to kill, destroy, intimidate and tell lies about those that oppose you, that criticize you and that are not in your political party.

You do not try to relegate Christianity into a second rate faith. You do not drag our nation into a military coalition of Sunni Muslim countries.

You do not get into bed with the Jihadists. You do not refuse to condemn the heinous activities of you kinsmen, the Fulani herdsmen.

You do not tolerate the banning of preaching in public places or the licensing of churches anywhere in the country.

You do not condemn the bombing in Brussels and remain silent about the massacre in Agatu and the slaughter of IPOB members and Shia Muslims.

You do not try to jail your opponents for no just cause or attempt to silence them with sensational and salacious lies.

You do not behave like the King of the North and instead you will conduct yourself like the President of Nigeria.

You do not use the security agencies to insult and threaten them on a daily basis and demonize them with half truths and mendacity before the entire world.

You do not impoverish the people with half-baked and ill-conceived economic and fiscal policies which have resulted in untold hardship, an unprecedented economic recession, high food and fuel prices, endless fuel queues, high electricity tariffs, the exile of the U.S. dollar, the unofficial devaluation of the Naira and the lowest generation of electrical power since 1999.

You do not implement an economic policy that is nonsensical, counter-productive and irrational and that has turned us into a nation of poverty-stricken paupers, destitute and beggars.

You do not use the Armed Forces or ethnic militias that are armed with AK 47’s to kill, crush and terrorize those that you consider to be slaves and second class citizens.

You do not attempt to break the spirits of those that refuse to worship you or bow down before you with brutal aggression and naked intimidation.

That does not breed love, peace prosperity and unity: it breeds hate, suspicion, fear, rage and ultimately war and bitter conflict.

I do not believe in violence and neither do I call for or support the idea of an armed struggle. I am a man of peace and like Sir Winston Churchill once said I believe that “jaw jaw is better than war war”.

However when a people are pushed up against a wall and the government has as its primary objective the silencing and cowering of the opposition things begin to change very quickly as the blood of the tormented boils and the hearts of the oppressed hardens.

Where the voice of reason and peaceful dissent is reigned in and silenced, history proves that those angry young men and women that do not share or care for our disposition for peaceful dialogue will eventually rise up, push the moderates aside and pick up their weapons in an attempt to break the yoke of slavery and liberate themselves from the bondage of servitude.
