A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said
that it is completely unacceptable for some Igbos to applaud the State of
Israel for committing genocide against the women and children of Gaza.
Fani-Kayode said it’s an irony of fate that the overwhelming
majority of the very same Igbo people, who were slaughtered in their millions
between 1967 and 1970 and subjected to the worst form of ethnic cleansing that
Africa has ever seen, openly support Israel.
The former minister, in a post on his X handle on Monday,
noted that some Igbos erroneously call themselves the Jews of Africa, while
some have adopted the Jewish faith.
“It is an irony of fate that the overwhelming majority of
the very same Igbo people who were slaughtered in their millions between 1967
and 1970 and who were subjected to the worst form of ethnic cleansing that
Africa has ever seen are now openly applauding the State of Israel for committing
genocide against the women and children of Gaza.
“As a sign and symbol of solidarity with Israel and the
atrocities they are committing in Gaza some of them erroneously call themselves
the Jews of Africa, some have adopted the Jewish faith whilst others call
themselves Zionists.
“This is totally and completely unacceptable and it is most
unfortunate,” his post partly read.
