‘When The White Doves Of Peace Refuse To Fly It Is An Ominous Sign And Bad Omen’ – Femi Kayode

Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, has spoken on the incident with pigeons during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day ceremony on Friday, January 15.

As part of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration,  President Muhammadu Buhari intends to release one of the white doves from a cage for an immediate fly away.

Releasing of birds in the air is a usual ritual which signifies peace and also used to commemorate the departed soul of loved ones.

But, this year, the birds refused to fly despite several attempts by President Buhari to make the birds fly into the air.

This made Buhari to return to his seat without performing the usual ritual of flying doves.

The incident was greeted with mixed reactions with many Nigerians, as they claim the birds inability to fly when left out means a bad omen for the government.

Femi Fani-Kayode in reaction to the incident said;

“When the white doves of peace refuse to fly and when the white pigeons of the Villa fail to leave their cage it is an ominous sign and a bad omen.

“Buhari beware the ides of March.”
