Nigerians have taken to social media to blast Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, for wishing the outgoing US President, Donald Trump, farewell as his four-year term ends on Wednesday.
In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode, an ardent supporter of Trump, applauded Trump, saying he fought a good while he served as President of the US and shone a good light across the world.
The former minister added that he is proud of the outgoing president and wished him Godspeed in his future endeavours.
The tweet, however, elicited a backlash for Fani-Kayode, with a good number of Twitter users mocking him for saying goodbye after he said Trump will be inaugurated for a second term on Wednesday.
Some of the commentators reminded the former minister of his previous tweets in which he boasted that Joe Biden’s victory in the November 3, 2020 presidential election will be overturned in favour of Trump, and attached pictorial evidence to hit home their point.
Some others taunted the former minister for supporting an individual who claims to be a Christian like him but undertook various questionable actions, including allegedly instigating Americans to attack the US Capitol in the name of defending democracy.
