A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode, has lamented over the failure of the Federal Government to evacuate over 4,000 Nigerian students in Sudan amid crisis in the region.
OsunDaily News recalls that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, had stated that the Nigerian Government was waiting on the Sudanese government for clearance before beginning the evacuation of its citizens.
He also stated that the evacuation would begin in a day or two.
Reacting to the situation, Fani-Kayode took to his Twitter handle to disclose that he had just watched a video of Sudanese soldiers slaughtering their fellow Africans.
The former Aviation Minister insisted that even if it requires the Nigerian Government to send the nilitary to rescue its citizens stranded in Sudan, the government must do so quickly.
He said the Federal Government should follow the footsteps of the French, Germans, Turkish, Portuguese and other governments who have managed to evacuate their citizens.
“I just watched a horrific video of Sudanese soldiers slaughtering their fellow Africans in the streets of Khartoum. The French, Germans, Turkish, Portuguese, Polish, Irish, Dutch and others have managed to evacuate their citizens. For God’s sake, when are we getting ours out? If we need to send in the Military, we MUST do so! These are OUR compatriots, and most of them are students”, he tweeted.
