Femi Fani-Kayode has said if only the All Progressives
Congress leaders were educated enough, then they would have known that more
serious matters are taking to ICC (the international criminal court) and not
just a mere speech made by the first lady of Nigeria. According to him, Mrs
Jonathan has said nothing wrong and APC had better focus on more meaningful things,
Hear him;
“It is pertinent to note that, first of all, if they were a
little better educated and had a better understanding of international law and
how the ICC works, they would appreciate the fact that no individual is ever
taken to the ICC based on what he or she has said unless, and until people act
on those words and massacre others.
“It is only if that speech is followed by violence and
mayhem or if it incites people to commit violence, which results in death, mass
murder and crimes against humanity, that the person who indulged in such hate
speech becomes an eligible candidate for the ICC.
“Dame Patience Jonathan is a woman of peace. She did not
threaten anyone with violence; she did not incite anyone to commit violence or
to kill others and her words have not resulted in death, mass murder or any
crimes against humanity.
“We therefore completely reject the baseless charge and
assertion that she has called for the killing or slaughter of anyone at any
point in time,” Fani Kayode said.
