have been restricted from travelling abroad.
The presidency on Saturday announced that 50 high profile Nigerians
accused of corruption have been banned from leaving the country.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode said he has not been able to travel out of the
country since 2008, as his passport had been seized.
The ex-minister said he has no intention of leaving the country any time
soon while expressing sympathy for those on the list who may require
foreign medical attention.
“I could not give a damn that my name is on the list of 50 members of the
opposition and prominent Nigerians that have been placed on a travel ban
because nothing that Buhari does surprises me. I have not left Nigeria
since 2008 because my passport has been with the EFCC and the courts for
the last 10 years and they have refused to give it to me and allow me to
travel,” he said in a statement on Sunday.
“Those on the travel-ban list that need to travel abroad for medical
attention or to see their loved ones are the ones I feel sorry for.
“For me, travel ban or no travel ban, I have no intention of leaving
Nigeria anytime soon because I am one of those that will be on the
forefront in the struggle to liberate our country and ensure that we get
Buhari out of power in the next few months.
“By God’s grace in February we will flush him and his incompetent,
fascistic, mendacious, divisive, corrupt, abusive, vicious and genocidal
government down the toilet and send them back to hell where they belong.”
