Several reactions have trailed a statement made by Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation.
The statement of Femi Fani-Kayode was contained in a post that he shared on his official X handle on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
According to Vanguard, Seyi Makinde invoked the violent history of Operation Wetie in the South-West to caution against the dangers of one-party dominance in Nigeria.
In a post shared on his page, the former Aviation Minister stated that those who met in Ibadan today to threaten others with Operation Wetie are engaging in a very dangerous gambit. He added that their brazen threat has been duly noted, warning that they should consider the consequences of their words and proposed actions before it is too late. He also noted that the last time Operation Wetie happened, there were no winners or losers.
According to Femi Fani-Kayode on his official X account:
“Do those who attended the opposition summit in Ibadan today really want all that to happen again? Is that why they chose that occasion and that city (where Operation Wetie started in 1965) to issue their threat?”
