    You’re imposing sanctions on Nigerian over terrorism funded by your USAID – Fani-Kayode slams US

    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”.
