A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi
Fani-Kayode, has decried the inability of the Nigerian government to evacuate
over 4,000 Nigerian students in Sudan amid crisis in the region.
Recall that for weeks now, there has been fighting between
the Sudanese Army general and the Rapid Support Forces in the country’s
capital, Khartoum, leading to countries evacuating their nationals.
However, stranded Nigerian students have called for
evacuation help from the Federal Government.
On the Nigerian Government’s part, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said it is waiting for clearance from the Sudanese
Government before evacuating its citizens.
Meanwhile, in his latest reaction on his official Twitter
handle, the former Aviation Minister, Fani-Kayode, insisted that if it requires
the Nigerian Government to send the Military to rescue its citizens stranded in
Sudan, the government must do so quickly.
He lamented the video of Sudanese soldiers slaughtering
their fellow Africans.
He said the Federal Government should follow the footsteps
of the French, Germans, Turkish, Portuguese and other governments who have
managed to evacuate their citizens.
“I just watched a horrific video of Sudanese soldiers
slaughtering their fellow Africans in the streets of Khartoum. The French,
Germans, Turkish, Portuguese, Polish, Irish, Dutch and others have managed to
evacuate their citizens. For God’s sake, when are we getting ours out? If we
need to send in the Military, we MUST do so! These are OUR compatriots, and
most of them are students”, he tweeted.
