Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has launched a
scathing attack on US President Donald Trump over his recent comments
threatening military action in Nigeria.
In a post on X on Sunday, Fani-Kayode described Trump as a
“deranged and sociopathic megalomaniac,” accusing him of hypocrisy and double
standards in his approach to global conflicts.
Recall that Trump had on Friday designated
Nigeria as a country of particular concern.
The US President cited what he described as ongoing violence
against Christians and the failure of the government to protect religious
minorities.
However, the Nigerian government denied persecution of any
religious groups in Nigeria.
On Saturday, Trump also threatened military action against
Nigeria.
However, Fani-Kayode alleged that Trump had ignored the
atrocities committed by what he called the “Israeli Zionist Nazis” and the
“UAE-backed RSF butchers of Darfur” while falsely labelling Nigerians as
“killers of Christians” and attempting to brand the country with genocide
claims.
Fani-Kayode also cited a message from a friend who condemned
Trump’s remarks, describing them as “petulant and childish,” and calling on
African leaders to recognize that Western powers are “not our friends.”
Reiterating his stance, the former minister warned that any
attempt by the US to invade Nigeria would be met with resistance, saying the
development should serve as a wake-up call for Nigerians to value courageous
and patriotic leadership.
He said: “Imagine a deranged & sociopathic megalomaniac
& tyrant, a recalcitrant and unrepentant schoolyard and dockside bully, and
a cheap and shameless godless scumbag like @realDonaldTrump
threatening our country with violence, military action, and
invasion. What a nerve!
“Trump, a fascist & an associate of the globally
recognized Hitler of the 21st century, @netanyahu, has refused to call the
Israeli Zionist Nazis and the UAE-backed RSF butchers of Darfur, Sudan mass
murderers and genocidal maniacs but he is calling our people the “killers of
Christians” and is desperately trying to label our nation with the genocide tag
and create a crisis in Nigeria.
“Our Government must refuse to allow themselves to be
hoodwinked by the words of middle-ranking American Government officials who are
not members of the MAGA inner circle & who do not truly represent the very
hardline and extreme views of the right-wing Christian fundamentalist &
anti-Muslim forces that Trump holds dear.”
