George Galloway, a former British parliamentarian and outspoken critic of Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, has sworn to reveal the alleged criminal past of the Nigerian leader to the world.
Galloway, who served as a member of the UK Parliament from 1987 to 2015, has taken a sudden and keen interest in President Tinubu after the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which he chairs, severed ties with Niger and imposed crippling economic sanctions following a military coup that toppled the country’s democratically elected president.
Galloway condemned the harsh sanctions that resulted in Nigeria cutting power supply to the troubled country, and took to his Twitter account to blast President Tinubu and describe him as a drug dealer in the United States.
He wrote: “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.”
However, Galloway’s tweet did not go down well with Femi Fani-Kayode, a former aviation minister and a chieftain of the Nigerian ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Fani-Kayode slammed Galloway, telling him that if he was looking for corrupt leaders, he should look within and to several Western Prime Ministers, Presidents, and leaders who have plundered and pillaged many countries under false pretenses.
Fani-Kayode, who was also the Director of defunct Special Media Projects and Operations & New Media for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, 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”
Galloway responded by promising not to back out until he brings the alleged criminal past of President Tinubu out for the world to know. He also urged the Nigerian Judiciary to deliver a fair trial using the trending hashtag #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary which is a call to action for the judges presiding over the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
In another Twitter post made via his handle on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, the former MP said that if Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu hadn’t threatened to invade Niger he might not have time to think of Tinubu and his past.
He wrote: “Truth is if #Nigerian #Bagman #Tinubu hadn’t threatened to invade #Niger and have #Africans murdering Africans for #France and the #USEmpire he might never have caught my eye – I have many fish to fry.”
“But now that he has, and his barking chorus is in full-song I won’t give up,” he stated.
The exchange between Galloway and Fani-Kayode has sparked a debate about the allegations against Tinubu and the role of foreign powers in Nigerian politics. It remains to be seen whether Galloway will be able to substantiate his allegations against Tinubu, but his vow to do so has certainly put the Nigerian president on the defensive
