Galloway had lambasted President Tinubu, describing him as a drug dealer in the United States.
Nigeria's former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has slammed a former member of the United Kingdom Parliament, George Galloway for attacking President Bola Tinubu.
Galloway had lambasted President Tinubu, describing him as a drug dealer in the United States.
“I started to look into the past of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Chairman, Tinubu. I didn't realise that he was a drug dealer in the United States. And the election that brought him to power is still being credibly contested as fraudulent," he had said.
Reacting to the attack on President Tinubu, the former minister in a statement on Tuesday said if Galloway was looking for corrupt leaders, he should look within and to several Western Prime Ministers, Presidents, and leaders like George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, David Cameron, Nicolas Sarkozy, Boris Johnson and so many others "who collectively and over the last 25 years orchestrated proxy wars in so many countries, plundered and stole their national patrimony, mineral resources and treasure all on a false premise and stinking lie".
Fani-Kayode warned Galloway to stop attacking President Tinubu or prepare for a great deal of turbulence in his "murky, inglorious, meaningless, and thoroughly uninspiring little life".
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain wrote: "I had promised myself that I would not say a word at this time when people throw bricks at our President because we have already won the election and the battle is long over.
"However here I will make an exception because I just can't bear it when these sanctimonious, self-seeking, self-serving, self-righteous, self-obsessed, and narcissistic white boys start mouthing off about our country and our leaders. And of course, these are my words and thoughts and I speak only for myself."
Fani-Kayode maintained that the stereotyping of "our leaders as being fraudulent, corrupt, drug dealers and God knows what else" coupled with the usual "asinine and puerile misrepresentations and stereotyping is not something that we will sit by silently and take from foreigners, particularly when they are from the West".
He stated, "If he (Galloway) is looking for fantastically corrupt, murderous, pernicious, deceitful, two-faced, criminally-insane, drug-dealing, callous, heartless, avaricious, bloodthirsty, blood-lusting, godless, psychotic, psychopathic, neo-colonial and hopelessly fraudulent leaders he should look within and to a series of Western Prime Ministers, Presidents, and leaders like George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, David Cameron, Nicolas Sarkozy, Boris Johnson and so many others who collectively and over the last 25 years orchestrated, ignited, sponsored and led illegal wars and proxy wars in Middle Eastern, North African, Asian and East European countries and thereby slaughtered millions of innocent people, took away their dignity and self-respect, destroyed their lives, ruined their future, shattered their dreams, enslaved their civilian population, lumbered them with pliant and dullard puppet-leaders and pillaged, plundered and stole their national patrimony, mineral resources and treasure all on a false premise, a fraudulent pretext and a perfidious, stinking lie."
