Following the alleged assault on an airport official and flouting of COVID-19 protocol by former Zamfara state governor, Abdulaziz Yari, Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister, says if he were still the Minister of Aviation, he would have banned Yari from entering any of the airports in the country or flying in Nigeria.
FFK who was Aviation Minister during the Obasanjo administration, said this while reacting to the statement released by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria FAAN on Wednesday July 15, calling out the former governor for flouting the COVID-19 protocols at the Aminu Kano Airport on Saturday, July 11.
FAAN in a statement posted on its Twitter handle, claimed that Yari arrived at the airport and blatantly refused to allow the airport officials disinfect his luggage. He allegedly claimed he is a VIP and should be treated differently.
FFK says if he were still the Minister of Aviation, he would have banned Yari from flying and would have ordered for his arrest. His post reads
I have always said that ex-Governor of Zamfara state, Abdulazeez Yari, is an animal. He is not only a crooked, corrupt & violent beast but he also spent years bathing in & drinking the blood of his own people by encouraging & actively supporting the activity of killer bandits.
Now he has had the nerve & audacity to assault FAAN officials at Aminu Kano Airport who tried to check & spray his luggage with disinfectant & he also stubbornly & violently refused to follow the Covid 19 protocols put in place by the FG on the grounds that he is a VIP.
I wonder who the hell this filthy animal thinks he is? It is about time that someone takes on this heartless & bloodlusting monster & call him to order? If we ever had a Kleptomaniac, a psychopath and a murderous megalomaniac in Nigeria as a Governor it is this creature.
The authorities need to cage him before people are hurt, insulted, threatened, maimed, wounded & possibly even killed by him and his boys. He is totally out of control and may well be totally and completely insane.
If I were still Minister of Aviation and he tried this nonsense with any of those in my Ministry or parastatals I would ban him from the airports and from flying in Nigeria and if he ever assaulted any of my officials or staff I would have him arrested, chained, detained, prosecuted & jailed.
The man is a common thug, a notorious bully, a disgrace to Zamfara state, a disgrace to the north and a disgrace to Nigeria. Not everyone can be intimidated by him and it is about time that the FG and the Nigerian people called him out & put him in his place.
He is not only a crooked, insatiable, greedy, bloodthirsty & murderous beast but he is also a self-serving sociopath & ignorant thug. One day we will meet & I will tell him all this to his ugly face. I can’t wait. FFK is a hurricane & a lion all rolled into one & I DESPISE bullies.”
