Founder of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, has fired back at a former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Alhaji Ahmadu Ali, for describing Yoruba people as ingrates.
The OPC boss , while describing Ali’s comment as a symptom of “verbal diarrhoea,” said it showed that the former Minister of Education, whose mishandling of a students’ crisis led to the death of several youths in 1978, “was as insensitive, reckless and narcissistic as ever.”
Fashenu in a statement on Tuesday, said it was bad for the retired colonel to insult world-class Yoruba dignitaries whose shoe latch he could not untie.
He said, “There are some leaders, who had accidentally found themselves in positions in our national life, but their poor performance made them immaterial that Nigerians would rather prefer to abandon on the rubbish dump of ignominy.
“Retired Colonel Ahmadu Ali is one such characters. Who can forget his inglorious role as Minister of Education in the 1978 ‘Ali Must Go saga’ that resulted in the death of over 10 university students nationwide?
“Ali, having recently failed in the contest PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, is looking for relevance in order to worm himself back into the heart of the Presidency for political salvation and rehabilitation.” Faehun fired.
He however admonished President Goodluck Jonathan and the ruling PDP to avoid Ali “like the plague” saying the retired military officer had become a political liability.
