Nigerians on Twitter have attacked Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation for inciting violence by ordering civil disobedience because election results do not favour Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Nigerians did not mince words as they called out Fani-Kayode while reminding him that he is part of the problems of Nigeria.
Many pointed out that his inciteful words are a treasonable offence and capable of causing civil unrest in a fragile democracy like Nigeria.
Some also called Fani-Kayode an “unqualified” lawyer who has become quite known for his uncouth comments on Twitter and Facebook.
WuzupNaija reports that Fani Kayode who is a staunch Buhari critic had accused the federal government of rigging the presidential election.
The controversial social commentator advised Atiku to form a “Govt and order civil disobedience throughout the nation adding that the country is finished.
“The election was a charade! @atiku should now brace up to defend the choice of millions of Nigerians who risked their lives on Saturday, defied tyranny and oppression and spoke through the ballot! He must reject the results and give the FG an ultimatum to declare the authentic…
“…results, failure of which he will form a Govt. and order civil disobedience throughout the nation! If this charade is allowed to stand, the country is finished! Then the authentic results collated by PDP from the 119,000 PUs must be released to the public and the int. community, FFK tweeted.
Meanwhile, the offence of Treason is a capital offence which is defined by section 37(1) of the Criminal Code Act as follows;
a. Any person who levies war against the state, in order to intimidate or overawe the president or the governor of a state is guilty of treason and is liable to the punishment of death.
b.Any person conspiring with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the state with the intent to cause such leving of war as would be treason if committed by a citizen of Nigeria, is guilty of treason and is liable to the punishment of death.
See some comments:
@realFFK I thought you said you read Law? Why not go to court on @atiku behalf and defend him. Don't allow only Mike Ozekhome make that dollars oo. And while protesting, bring that your wife and children along, only " Demola" the ballot box snatcher is not enough..

Femi with your sour mouth, you need to be kept away in maximum prison where you rightly belong for daring to make such nasty statements. I hope Atiku isn’t foolish enough to heed your group’s silly and wicked advice. Well he could , but should also be ready to face the music.

Ajimobi lost: “No rigging”. Dino won: “free and fair”,Dogara won: “Will of the people”. Atiku won in Ondo: “Its people’s will”. Akpabio lost: “The people have spoken”. BUT Buhari’s victories: “Massive rigging”, “Worst election_, “Rape on our democracy”. Park well Abeg ?

Quite disgraceful outburst. There are civilised ways to seek redress

I didn’t believe it was possible to be more disappointed in you but again you continue to amaze us at how low you can stoop. Your calling for civil disobedience is a new low even for you.

I hope you will also be ready to join him in jail if he heeds this senseless advice and eventually gets picked up. I doubt your claim of being a lawyer and if you are, you must be one of the poorest in that noble field. Desperate Boko Haramite.

Uncle @therealFFK, there is need to check your mental stability. You should be arrested for just breathing… The same way you made inciting remarks GEJ accepted defeat in 2015.

Because pdp, is now authorized or recognized by constitution to conduct an elections and gives authentication of results and announce the winner.
Sir, you and your party are not in position to make such decisions for Nigeria.— Olanite Afeez Adisa (@realolanite) February 26, 2019

Femi you’ve come again. That’s how you pushed Nnamdi Kanu and we know where he is now. @atiku is more sensible and understands you are more after the looting amnesty he promised.
— Anie (@anipossa) February 26, 2019
Baba make we trend with caution ohh, civil unrest and violence can not help now.Allow for inec to officially announce the result and then as a civil man that you are, if result are not favorable then all road will now lead to the court.
— Ifeoluwa jnr (@IfeoluwaJnr) February 26, 2019
This is not good at all… Buhari isn’t going to rule forever na. I voted atiku, but I’ll never support violence. There used to be a time it was all about pdp… Today it’s about apc so let them shine. If violence arises y’all elites will be safe. So sir please retract this
