Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has blasted president Muhammadu Buhari for saying that Nigerian youths are lazy and likes freebies.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, while speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster, said many Nigerian youths believe that it is their right to get everything free because Nigeria is an oil-rich nation.
The statement has attracted some backlash back home, and Fani-Kayode, an ardent Buhari critic took to his Facebook page to condemn the president.
He said, “Two years ago in London you clapped for Prime Minister David Cameron when he said, in your prescence, that the Nigerian people were “fantastically corrupt!”
