Former aviation minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has raised serious questions about the death of Idris Deby, the president of Republic of Chad, wondering who killed him.
AFP reported that the late leader died on the battlefield after three decades in power.
Writing on his twitter account, the PDP chieftain asked; “Who really killed Pres. Idris Deby?”
He also asked if it was “the rebels or were they disgruntled elements within his own army?”
He also asked the role France, which colonised the country and USA played.
“What role did France play, if any? What role did the Americans play, if any? How did his son emerge as Head of State after the killing and why was there effectively a coup?
“Was the whole thing planned & contrived in the same way that Pres. Laurent Kabila of DRC Congo was killed in 2001 & his young Army officer son Joseph took over for many years? At that time Joseph was a young Major in the Army& a few years later he transformed himself into a democratically elected President for many years more.
“Who were the 5 generals that were executed by Deby’s son after his father was murdered and why were they executed? Why was his ADC executed as well?
He also asked the implication of the death of Deby on the fight against insurgency in Nigeria, peace and stability in Nigeria.
“What are the implications of this assassination on the war against Boko Haram in the west African sub-region & on Nigeria’s North Eastern border with Chad?
“What are the implications for Nigeria’s peace & stability?
“These are pertinent questions that need to be answered,” he concluded.
