FFK Calls Out Minister Of Defence, Magashi For Offering A “Heartless Felt Condolence” At Burial Of COAS, Others (Video)

Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Minister of Aviation, has reacted to Minister of Defence Bashir Magashi’s gaffe during the burial ceremony of Chief of Army Staff Ibrahim Attahiru and other military officers on Saturday, May 22.

According to FFK, at the ceremony, Magashi expressed his “heartless felt condolences” to the families of the deceased military officers. It was a “Freudian slip,” FFK said.

The former minister, who pointed out that the President was not present at the burial ceremony, wondered how much “worse the spectacle would get.”

He tweeted;

“First our President refuses to attend the COAS’ burial even though he was in Abuja. The Minister of Defence was there & instead of talking sense he said he had “come to express” his “HEARTLESS felt condolences”. Talking about a Freudian slip!!! How much worse can this show get!”
