Shehu Sani, a former senator, has kicked against any foreign military intervention in Nigeria.
US President Donald Trump has threatened military action in
Nigeria over alleged persecution of Christians.
Trump also described Nigeria as a “disgraced country”.
In a riposte posted on his X page, Sani said Nigeria will
never be a “disgraced country”.
The activist and politician added that future generations
will someday ask where certain persons stood in times like this.
“Some day we will all be gone. The future generations,
including our children and grandchildren will read about all that we posted and
ask questions about where we stood on the urgent and controversial matters in
this moment of our lifetime,” he wrote.
“I want history to record me among those who outrightly
opposed, rejected and unreservedly condemned any act of Mr Trump’s foreign
military aggression against my country under any guise, disguise or excuse.
“My country is not a ‘disgraced country’ and will never be a
‘disgraced country’. Anyone who is proud of his mother who gave birth to him
after months of labour in his ancestral land, will not accept his land being
called ‘disgraced’.”
He also asked the US government to look in the mirror.
“We are not a nation that has ever colonised, enslaved or
invaded any country or countries and dropped bombs and killed millions of
people and plunder their resources. Without such record against other
countries, we can’t be called ‘disgraced’,” Sani added.
“It’s a fact that my country has been facing security
challenges in the last fifteen years. We welcome any support and assistance to
our security forces that will help in crushing and annihilating terrorists in
our country.
“Lastly, I wish to call on the government of my country to
step up efforts to protect the lives of our people and secure our country,
which is the only country we can live without a visa or request for a visa.
“As a democrat, I respect but will never share the opinion
of those who think otherwise, and want history to register them as supporters
of foreign aggression. Thank you.”
