Former Aviation Minister, Femi Olu-Kayode has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari over Saudi Arabia’s inclusion of Nigeria among the military coalition to combat terrorism globally.
Saudi Arabia yesterday announced formation of a coalition of 34 mainly Muslim countries – including powers such as Egypt and Turkey – to coordinate a fight against “terrorist organisations”. Nigeria was included
The idea didn’t sit well with Fani-Kayode.
“Al Jazeera says Nigeria is now part of a “34 member coalition of muslim nations” and that they will “fight terror in the name of islam”” he tweeted.
“Is this part of “change” agenda? Can’t they just, for once, think about the implications of what they are doing?”
“Nigeria is not a muslim state. We are a multi-religious, multi-cultural secular state and 1 million Muhammadu Buharis and his Saudi friends cannot change that.” he added.
