Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has described as ''absurd'' the reasoning of some Nigerians who believe that President Buhari was threatening citizens through a message posted on his official Twitter handle this evening.
The President
while reacting to the worsening state of insecurity in the country and the
burning of public facilities in some parts of the country, had tweeted;
''Many of
those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss
of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields
for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they
understand.''
Many felt his
tweet was a direct threat to the hoodlums, and wrote about it on Twitter.
Festus on his
handle, flawed this reasoning, saying it is absurd. His tweets read;
''I hope some
elites who couldn’t find their voices to rein in their wards when their region
burnt, will not suddenly find their voices against Mr President! Those who
screamed that it’s Mr President’s duty to maintain law & order should NOT
try to teach him how to do his job now.
The anger
some are displaying against the President’s resolve to be decisive in dealing
with these scoundrels is an indication of their support for the destruction of
public infrastructure because they want to cripple Govt. A pure case of cutting
your nose to spite your face!
A very
unfortunate reasoning you read is that because insurgency is still prevalent in
some other parts of the country, the President should just allow some villains
destroy another region. It’s like a competition to bring the insecurity in one
region at par with other regions!
The President
has vowed to deal with the scoundrels destroying public infrastructure &
killing people to instigate insurrection & some dimwits really interpret
this to mean he is threatening INNOCENT citizens! This reasoning is so ABSURD
that I don’t know whether to laugh or cry''
