Former Nigerian Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has issued a blistering condemnation of United States President Donald Trump’s decision to authorize airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, warning of catastrophic global consequences.
In an extraordinary critique, Fani-Kayode accused Trump of betraying both God and the American people who elected him to bring peace.
“You have murdered sleep & destroyed everything positive that you ever did for your country both in your first & second coming,” Fani-Kayode wrote. “Worse of all you have betrayed God & the American people who put you on the throne to make PEACE and bring justice, sanity & order to the world.”
The former minister, who holds several traditional titles including Sadaukin Shinkafi and Otunba Joga Orile, suggested Trump had ignored wiser counsel from figures like Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, and Steve Bannon. “How I wish you had listened to the likes of Tulsi Gabbard (your own Head of Security and Intelligence), Candace Owen, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones…& so many other influential, cerebral figures in your country & elsewhere & NOT dropped these bombs on Iran.”
Fani-Kayode warned that Trump had fundamentally misjudged Iranian resolve, stating: “They would rather die than bend the knee to the likes of you & this is a noble trait which we should ALL emulate.” He predicted devastating retaliation against U.S. assets across the Middle East and cautioned that Trump had “brought the entire world one step closer to WW3.”
The critique included personal attacks on Trump’s character, calling him “no better than a shallow fool and a road-side bully: a dangerous and despicable creature that has no honor, no truth, no value for human life and no love of God.” Fani-Kayode concluded with a prayer: “May the Lord save the world from you and your neocon, fascist and Zionist friends and allies.”
The former minister framed the conflict as serving Israeli rather than American interests, accusing Trump of being “Israel First” rather than “America First.” He described Israel as “an ethno-fascist, racist, genocidal, child-killing, ethnic-cleansing and mass murdering apartheid state” that controls U.S. policy.
Fani-Kayode’s remarks represent one of the most scathing critiques from an African political figure regarding recent U.S. military actions in the Middle East, reflecting growing global concern about escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. His statement blends geopolitical analysis with personal condemnation, offering a unique perspective from Nigeria’s political establishment.
