Nigerians Attack Lai Muhammed For Saying Buhari’s Govt Spends N3.5m Monthly To Feed El-Zakzaky
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed is under fire by Nigerians over his comment on Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN).
According to Lai Mohammed, the Federal Government spends N3.5 million monthly to feed Shia Muslim cleric, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, who’s been in custody for three years facing trials of unlawful gathering, criminal conspiracy, and culpable homicide. Read the report HERE.
The report was accompanied by a video published by OakTv. In the video, the Minister was heard saying:
“The issue of whether, where he (Mr El-Zakzaky) is, at least let’s keep it off record, that he is in a residence and you know eating at the… It costs the government about N3.5 million every month to feed him.
“We don’t want to inflame passion. The issue is a very sensitive matter. But that is the situation. The Islamic Movement of Nigeria are a different kettle of fish.”
Lai Muhammed’s comments have sparked an outrage on Twitter. Most Nigerians are wondered why the federal government would be spending such kind of money on El-Zakzaky despite the fact that the Court has ordered for his release.
Others who commented on the matter were not particularly sure what the government was feeding El-Zakzaky with that would cost Nigeria so much.
Here are some Twitter reactions on Lai’s N3.5 million monthly for El-Zakzaky’s food.

"It costs the Nigeria gov't N3.5m/month to feed ElZakzaky." – Lai Mohammed.
3.5m × 12 months = N42m
He was arrested in 2015, let's say they've bn feeding him for 3yrs.
3.5m × 36 months: N126m.
Instead of obeying court orders, Nigeria gov't is wasting money to keep him, very smart— UNCLE AJ (@UNCLE_AJALA) November 8, 2018
It costs the Nigerian government N3.5m per month to feed ElZakzaky." – Lai Mohammed.
Dear Lai Mohammed, there’s a valid court order that says Zakzaky should be released. Why wasting tax payers money feeding a man that should be fending for himself?

Are they feeding him with gold rice?
Does he drinks diamond water?
