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.
Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has sharply criticized US President Donald Trump over his recent remarks 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 failure of the government to protect religious minorities.
However, 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 meglomaniac & 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 Governnent officials who are not members of the MAGA inner circle & who do not truly represent the very hardline and extreeme views of the right-wing Christian fundamentalist & anti-Muslim forces that Trump holds dear.”
