Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode on Tuesday, condemned the European Union, EU, final report on Nigeria’s 2023 elections.
In a post on Twitter, he described the report as inconsequential and urged the EU to tender an unreserved apology to Africans for its members role in the continent in the last 200 years.
“Before they assail and afflict us with their self-serving, self-seeking, hypocritical, nauseating, infantile, irritating and inconsequential “election monitors report”, the EU and its member states should tender an unreserved apology for the unspeakable atrocities that they committed against the people of Africa over the last 200 years,” he said.
“In case they have forgotten permit me to remind them of just a few.
“The Germans committed genocide in Namibia.
“The Belgians committed genocide in Congo.
“The French commited genocide in Algeria.
“The Dutch committed genocide in South Africa.
“The Spanish committed genocide in Equitorial Guinea and Morocco.
“The Portugese committed genocide in Angola and Mozambique.
“The British (though no longer a member of the EU) committed genocide in Kenya and South Africa.
“Hundreds of millions of Africans were subjected to ethnic cleansing, mass murder, slavery and total subjugation by the Europeans in the 19th and 20th centuries.
“When a European accuses we Africans of being brutal and barbaric, of committing all manner of mindless atrocities against one another and of being a bunch of fraudulent and dishonest election riggers they forget to mention the fact that, if true, we must have learnt such callousness, wickedness, barbarity and roguish traits from them. History proves that.
“Their report deserves to be in one place and one place alone: the bottom of a dustbin!”
