Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned President Bola Tinubu against seeking a meeting with United States President Donald Trump over the latter’s recent threats to invade Nigeria.

Fani-Kayode issued the warning while speaking as a guest lecturer at the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference in Akure, Ondo state.

The former minister said the president risks “embarrassment” if he attempts to meet Trump at the White House.

He said his concern was informed by media reports suggesting that Tinubu was seeking an audience with the American president.

Fani-Kayode described Trump as “irrational, unpredictable and unbalanced”.

He accused the US president of harbouring what he called “a pathological hatred for Africans, black and brown people, and Muslims”.

He said Trump’s behaviour reflects what Pentecostal Christians refer to as a “Demas­tic anointing”, which he explained as a fixation on materialism derived from the biblical story of Demas, an associate of Apostle Paul.

“He has been afflicted with what those of us in Pentecostal circles describe as a ‘Demas­tic anointing’, named after Apostle Paul’s loyal disciple called Demas, who lost his way and fell”, he stated.
