Emmanuel Osita Okereke, the director general of the National Taskforce to Combat Illegal Importation of Small Arms, Ammunitions and Light Weapons, the president of Importers Association of Nigeria and a former presidential candidate of the African Liberation Party, warned former minister Femi Fani-Kayode against making verbal attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari.

Addressing the press in Enugu on Thursday, Okereke touched upon the subject of Fani-Kayode’s sharp criticism of the incumbent president.
An attack on President Buhari is an attack directed to Nigerians since the president is a corporate personality, Okereke said.
“Fani-Kayode has been involved in the government since 1999 to 2015 and somebody like him should not be talking. He was a minister of culture and tourism, and a minister for aviation. As a minister, Fani-Kayode could not renovate one single airport. Can he tell us this is his achievement as minister of aviation? Can he tell us this is his achievement as minister of culture and tourism?
“He was special adviser to Obasanjo. When he became the spokesman of the Jonathan campaign organization, what was his achievement? If he had capacity as a media person he would have found out the fault and the problem while Jonathan could not win the election. So I look at him as a failure,” Okereke said.
“President Buhari is not his mate and he never contested the same position with him. They had the power, they couldn’t manage the power and power has been given to someone else”, Okereke added.
