A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Saturday night, faulted Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s comments on the Nigeria border closure.
Osinbajo, who spoke at a town hall meeting in Edo State on Friday, said border closure was aimed at ensuring that Nigerian farmers become prosperous.
He added that part of the reasons for the border closure was to force the neighbouring countries to take border policing more seriously.
But Fani-Kayode said the southerners feel the brunt of the closure more.
The ex-minister, in a tweet on his official Twitter page, took on Osinbajo over his statement on the matter.
He wrote: “Nigerians should endure the pains of border closure”- @ProfOsinbajo
“Point of correction Mr. VP! You mean southerners should endure the pains of border closure.
“All borders in the north are open!”
