A former Minister of Aviation,
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned the Minister of Aviation, Mrs Stella Oduah
to “grow up and stop being petty”.
Fani-Kayode,
said this while reacting to some comments made about him by Oduah.
He
said: “My advice and counsel to her is to grow up and stop being petty. She is
meant to talk like someone who befits her office and not like a market woman or
a fish wife.
“I do
not like joining issues with women publicly which is why I was very gentle with
her in my essay though I made my point.
“But
this particular woman is endangering the lives of our people with her
incompetence and insensitivity and we cannot just keep quiet.
“This
is a woman under whose watch almost 200 people have been killed as Aviation
Minister and instead of focusing on how to save lives her obsession has become
smearing and abusing Femi Fani-Kayode.”
He said
it was wrong for the minister to tell Nigerians that ''accidents are
inevitable'' and that they were ''acts of God''.
“This
is a woman who thinks more about how her headscarf looks, her jewellery and the
jewellery of others more than she does about protecting Nigerian air
travellers,” he added.
He said
if anyone should bury her head in shame it should be the minister and not him.
Fani-Kayode said that after about 200 people had been killed under her watch, the minister instead of abusing her critics and those who have expressed concern and offered our advice, Oduah should be seeking repentance from God and tendering her resignation.
He said: “My advice to her is to shut up, get serious and focus on doing her job rather than attempting to smear me with her filthy lies and malicious innuendos.
“I raised some serious issues in that essay that were clearly above her education level and I avoided personal insults. That is what civilised people do.
“She should learn from that and address the issues that were raised rather than spend her time trying to kill the messenger.
“When someone says that God is the author of fatal crashes you know that it is not the same God that we worship as that person.”
He said the minister should know that it is the devil that causes accidents and kills people and not God.
He said only those who serve the devil would ascribe fatal accidents to God.
