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 includedThe 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.
