He made the comments in an article titled “The travails of Apostle Johnson Suleman and the inciting words of the Sultan of Sokoto.”

“Our Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who is undoubtedly a fine gentleman and who is a practicing Pentecostal Christian, appears to be helpless and has done absolutely nothing to help and protect his own from the “sneaky dirty rats,” Fani-Kayode said.

“Clearly he has no power and he does not have the disposition or the political will and clout to take a stand against this great evil. The best he could do was to issue a tepid statement telling Nigerian religious and political leaders not to allow religion to drive us apart.

“He did not condemn the genocide that was being perpetrated by the Fulani militias and neither did he commiserate with the families of those that were butchered or express regret about the inability of the Federal Government to prevent the carnage,” he added.
