Bashir Ahmad, former aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, says Israel and its Western allies are against Nigeria because of the nation’s principled stand on the Palestinian issue.
Ahmad made this statement in a post via his official X
handle on Friday.
He said that the remarks of Vice-President Kashim Stettima on
Nigeria’s stand on the Palestinian issue were not his personal position or that
of any individual leader.
Ahmad said the statements were rather the official and
long-standing position of Nigeria as a sovereign nation.
According to him, the position is rooted in justice,
international law and Nigeria’s historical commitment to standing with
oppressed peoples across the world.
“You don’t have to subtly tell us what we already know.
Israel and its Western allies are doing all these things against Nigeria simply
because of our principled stand on the Palestinian issue.
“What Vice President Shettima said was not his personal
position or that of any individual leader; it is the official and long-standing
position of Nigeria as a sovereign nation.
“Whichever Nigerian leader addresses the United Nations will
always restate our position, which is firmly anchored on the two-state solution
to the Israel–Palestine conflict,” he wrote.
