Opinion: Femi Fani-Kayode needs to shut up!| By: Jola Sotubo

Fani-Kayode has unfortunately been very vocal in recent times with his numerous postulations on Nigeria’s “satanic foundation” and how it’s destined to fail and various conspiracy theories of impending Northern domination.

Ever Since Femi Fani-Kayode blamed Reeva Steenkamp for her own death at the hands of paralympian boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius and called her “a creature from the sea” who came “into this great man’s life just to destroy it”, I knew he wasn’t someone to take seriously.

However, his response to elder statesman. Olu Falae’s abduction just takes the cake. Falae was kidnapped from his farm in Ondo State on Monday September 21, 2015 and Fani-Kayode’s response was to threaten the Federal Government.

 “We cannot sit by idly and watch our leaders and elders being endangered, shamed and humiliated in this way,” the former minister wrote in a statement.

“Let it be clearly understood that if anything happens to him and if he doesn’t come home hale and hearty we will hold the Federal Government responsible and there will be consequences. Those that are in power would do well to take what I have said very seriously,” he added.

Fani-Kayode has done
nothing to hide his disdain for the Muhammadu Buhari administration and, in June, even linked the president to asuicide bombing in Maiduguri, Borno State.

However his recent utterance shows an utter disrespect for himself and an immense insensitivity towards the delicate security situation in the country.

It is in fact, Fani-Kayode who has “shamed and humiliated” our elders as it appears that he either just loves to make headlines to stay relevant or is so oblivious of his own ridiculousness that he can’t be saved.

After listening to the former minister embarrass himself severally, I have to say that enough is truly enough and Femi Fani-Kayode just needs to shut up!
