Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari got an inviteationfrom US President Donald Trump because he paid $490 million up front for the Tucano jets. Y
ou will recall that Trump on Monday, April 30, 2018, met with President Buhari at the White House.
In a post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, May 2, 2018, however, chieftain of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stated that the agriculture deal the federal government had with the US would put Nigerian farmers out of business.
Fani-Kayode wrote:
“The bottom line is as follows: The only reason Buhari got into the White House was because of the $490 million he paid up front for the Tucano jets.“He also agreed to open up Nigeria to American agricultural products which has grave and serious implications for Nigerian farmers and which will undoubtedly put them out of business whilst making millions of dollars for their American counterparts.
“President Donald Trump got all he wanted. And he did a great job for America. Why won’t he smile and pat Buhari on the back?“All Buhari and Nigeria got in return was a warning to stop killing Christians,” he said.
