A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned the erstwhile Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, to be careful with his remarks about the Yoruba people.
Naija News reports that Lawal had earlier stated that the Yorubas cannot be trusted.
According to him, if you participate in a meeting where 99% are from the tribe, they will likely finish the discussion in their language.
He claimed that Yorubas often downplay the help they receive from others after achieving success.
Babachir said, “The problem with the Yoruba is that when you support them and they win, they behave as if they have subdued you. They will not count your support.”
However, speaking via X on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode warned that discrediting a whole race would weaken Lawal’s case.
He wrote, “I advise you to be very careful with your words and your characterisation of an entire race, my dear brother Babachir Lawal.
“You know I have a soft spot for you, but attacking the Yoruba race does not strengthen your case. It diminishes you, weakens your argument, and destroys your credibility.”
Fani-Kayode also reminded Babachir that President Bola Tinubu nominated him for the SGF position in the late Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
