’Unongo’s Call On Buhari To Send Soldiers To Southwest To Protect Northerners Is Dangerous And Reckelss’ -FFK Blows Hot At Unongo

Critic, Femi Fani-Kayode has described as reckless and dangerous call made by Second Republic Minister of Steel Development and convener of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Paul Unongo, to President Muhammadu Buhari to send soldiers to Southwest to protect northerners.

Fani-Kayode, reacting to the statement on Sunday via Twitter “the suggestion that Buhari should deploy soldiers to the SW to “protect northerners” by Chief Paul Unongo is reckless, irresponsible and dangerous.

“Fulani terrorists are killing our people all over the Southwest and now he wants soldiers to kill us too? Unongo is begging for war! The worst thing is that the man is not even a Fulani. He is a Tiv man and we in the Southwest love and respect the Tiv people.

"We know that they are great and courageous warriors but Unongo is not talking like a Tiv man but rather like an old slave who has lost touch with reality.“

According to Fani-Kayode, the same terrorists that “are killing your people are the ones that are killing ours and you want them to be protected? Northerners are not in any danger in the Southwest but Fulani terrorists and killer herdsmen who slaughter, rape, torture and kidnap our people most certainly are.

“We make no pretence and have no apology for that. If the state refuses to protect us from terror we have no choice but to protect ourselves. That is perfectly lawful. The only reason you need to worry for your safety in the Southwest is if you are a killer herdsmen or a terrorist.”
