Former Aviation Minister Slams US Over Reports on Nigerian Governors

• Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode criticises the US government over its remarks on Nigerian governors' spending habits, accusing them of hypocrisy
• Fani-Kayode sent strong words to the US government over its support for Israel in the Gaza struggle and involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war
• The former minister revealed a powerful claim regarding USAID being funded by the US government and the purpose it served

Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister, has criticised the United States government over its recent remarks on the spending habits of certain Nigerian governors.

The U.S. Mission in Nigeria had previously shared a report on X on Tuesday, July 29, narrating Nigerian governors' reckless spending, unnecessary projects, splurging billions of naira on government houses, houses that don't serve their intended purpose, while appealing to citizens to bear with the economic hardship.

The statement reads,“While Nigerians are urged to endure economic hardship like labour pains, some governors are splurging billions on new government houses, airports, and flyovers that may not be necessary.”

Fani-Kayode, reacting in a statement shared on X on Tuesday, July 29, stated that the U.S. government lacked the moral obligation to criticise the governance in Nigeria, urging it to fix its internal crisis before preaching good governance to others.

“Whilst the children of Gaza are being slaughtered and starved, the American government is sending more and more weapons to Israel to assist them in committing genocide."

“Worse still, the American government is using the Ukraine-Russia war to launder money and make billions of dollars for its corrupt leaders.”

“Before you give us lessons in governance, kindly drain your American swamp and clean up the mess you have put the world in,” he added.

He claimed that the U.S. is using USAID as a disguise to funnel billions of dollars into and from several countries across the world in a bid to “corrupt and destroy them.”

“And up until Trump came, the US used USAID as a conduit to fund billions of dollars into and from various nations all over the world in order to corrupt and destroy them”, he explained.
