For distributing President Muhammadu Buhari 2019 re-election campaign materials during the Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja, Saki-born Nigeria’s communication ministers, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu has been described as insensitive.

The Yoruba Council of Elders, YCE, described as sad and unfortunate the action of the minister.

Insideoyo.com had reported how the minister handed over the bag to the council’s secretariat staff members for distribution before the commencement of the meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

While reacting to the action, the YCE secretary general, Dr. Kunle Olajide, said Shittu’s distribution of the caps at FCE meeting downplayed the mood of the nation after Fulani herdsmen went on the  rampage killing innocent people. He also described it as the height of sycophancy.

Olajide said, “I am surprised that some of our political leaders are engaged in criminal height of sycophancy completely oblivious of the mood of the people they claim to represent. People are talking about 2019 elections and 2023 presidential elections as if it is somebody’s birthright.

“People should stop taking Nigerians for granted for God’s sake. We are in the 21st century and not the 20th century. The insult is too much.

“It is unfortunate and I am sad that someone could be pre-occupied with such thought and action. When you are talking about timeliness and consideration of the plight of other persons, Yoruba stands out because we are our brother’s keeper. We are liberal and that is why we are always ready to accommodate others and sympathise with their plight.

“It is sad that a Yoruba man should be doing this. Moreover, it violates the regulations of the Independent National Electoral Commission on elections. I want to consider it a rumour until the minister refutes it.”
