Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Aviation Minister and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has described a letter, titled, ‘Hollow Democracy’, written to the United States President, Joe Biden, by a Nigerian U.S. based author, Chimamanda Adichie, as ‘a shitty little submission.’
Chimamanda Adichie, in the letter had faulted the process of 2023 general elections in Nigeria, and criticize the United States government for congratulating the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on his victory at the presidential polls.
Fani-Kayode said: the letter “was hardly worth my time to read and ordinarily I would not have bothered.”
“Like all fecal waste it belongs in one place and one place alone: the bottom of a public toilet.
“We do not need any lessons from this overrated and Igbocentric new age diva.”
Fani-Kayode mocking Adichie said the letter deserved no response because ” it is her self-serving, self-seeking, jaundiced, subjective, partial, primitive, tribal observations and implausible ethno-religious sentiments.”
According to him he said that rather than telling Nigerians about the consequences of lawlessness, the former Minister advised Adichie to focus on the Mr. Peter Obi the Labour Party Presidential candidate.
He furthe:stated that “If anything is hollow it is her well-manicured diva head and not our democracy.”
“She is not in this league and she would do well to stick to writing fairy tales.”
He chided Adichie for reporting the Nigerian government to a foreign leader.
“If you do not have respect for your own people and nation and if you have to go cap in hand to foreigners for validation then you are not worthy of being called a human being let alone a Nigerian.”
“Africa has come of age. We do not need to get a congratulatory note from any Western nation before we sleep well at night.”
“This is not some Hollywood film script or fantasy fairy tale.”
“This is about the destiny, future, welfare and fortune of 250 million Nigerian people who deserve to have their place under the sun as a free, progressive and independent nation and not to be treated like some vassal state or an appendage of others.
“She should give us a break, spare the world her unsolicited counsel, desist from denigrating her nation from a foreign land, stop reporting Nigeria to her slave masters and, as President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda would say, “go and eat her mother’s something,”
“What this unpatriotic, hate-filled and overrated little diva has written is nothing but a long-winded, empty, tendentious and boring epistle of dishonest garbage.
“It is a litany of unwholesome mendacities designed to undermine our democracy, impress her global audience and incite her local ‘Obidient’ tribesmen against the Nigerian people and state.
“The little diva is not worthy of much of our attention. She deserves nothing from us except ridicule, scorn and contempt.
