Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, has dabbled into the lingering feud between Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state and Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo.

The former aviation minister described as “uncharitable and absurd” the name-calling criticism in which the Bauchi governor is being faced with. He called Bala a “man who stands up for southerners, middle belters and Christians as much as he stands up for Northern Muslims.”

FFK also stated that if not for Bala, Goodluck Jonathan would not have emerged as president of Nigeria after his former boss Umar Musa Yar’adua passed away.

Meanwhile, the Bauchi government has cleared the grey areas on Governor Bala’s controversial comment on herders carrying AK-47.

In a statement, an aide to Governor Bala said the comment of his boss was misunderstood and misrepresented.
