Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has issued a fiery warning to U.S. President Donald Trump, cautioning against escalating tensions in the Middle East that could spark global chaos.
In a strongly worded statement yesterday, Fani-Kayode expressed alarm at Trump’s recent remarks concerning the ongoing crisis between Iran and Israel, accusing the former U.S. leader of bowing to pressure from pro-Israel elements and warmongers in Washington.
“You are a disaster,” he wrote. “You’ve abandoned your divine calling. No genuine believer promotes war, bloodshed, or injustice against the defenceless.”
Fani-Kayode, known for his vocal stance on global affairs, warned that any U.S.-led attack targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader or military occupation of Iranian territory would have dire consequences for global stability.
According to him, such a move could trigger the downfall of the American empire.
The former minister, once a supporter of Trump, said he now sees nothing but pride and blind ambition in the former president’s approach.
“All I see is vanity and the same arrogance that led Icarus to destruction. Let Israel fight its own wars for once,” he remarked.
Fani-Kayode has long criticized Israeli actions in Gaza, accusing the country of committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing under the guise of national defence.
He urged the international community to hold Israel accountable for civilian casualties and destruction.
His criticism comes amid renewed violence in the region, with Iran launching retaliatory missile and drone strikes after Israeli forces hit key Iranian sites.
Trump’s call for increased pressure on Iran has drawn widespread concern, with critics warning it may ignite a broader war in the Middle East.
