Former Nigerian Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has slammed the United States government over reported moves to impose sanctions on Nigeria.
Reports emerged within the week that the US House Foreign
Affairs Subcommittee on Africa urged President Donald Trump to impose sanctions
on Nigeria over alleged widespread killing of Christians.
Chairman of the Subcommittee, Chris Smith, who announced the
decision after a congressional hearing on the persecution of Christians in
Nigeria, alleged that Nigerians account for 90 percent of Christians killed
worldwide annually.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode in a statement on Sunday wondered why
Nigeria should be sanctioned by the US government over activities of terrorists
allegedly funded by the United States Agency for International Development,
USAID.
According to FFK, “first you confess that USAID is funding
Boko Haram, ISWAP and other terrorist organisations in Nigeria and now you say
you want to impose sanctions on us for the very same terrorist activities that
your USAID is funding.
“It appears that you Yankees are as confused as the autumn
morning and a victim of your own obsession for power and control”.
