A Nigerian politician, Femi Fani-Kayode, in his post today made it known that upon invitation, he visited the Palestinian Embassy—a gesture applauded by many, even in the comments section on his page.

The visit highlights a moment of diplomatic solidarity between Nigeria and Palestine.

Welcoming the invitation from Palestinian Ambassador Muhannad Al Hamoury and community leaders, Fani-Kayode stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people amid the ongoing crisis in Gaza and the West Bank.

This visit is significant because it reinforces Nigeria’s historical support for oppressed nations and affirms human rights advocacy beyond its borders.

According to recent UN records, over 35,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began on October 7, 2023, with the majority being children and vulnerable women.

The conflict remains ongoing, and many around the world continue to call for an end to what has been described as genocide under the regime of Benjamin Netanyahu.

By standing with the Palestinian people, Fani-Kayode lends a voice to their struggle for liberation and brings international attention to their plight.

In today’s fractured world, such gestures echo Africa’s role in championing justice and remind us that diplomacy and empathy still have the power to shape global consciousness.

For our international readers who may be unfamiliar, Femi Fani-Kayode is a prominent Nigerian politician, lawyer, and public commentator.

He served as Minister of Aviation from 2006 to 2007 and was previously Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Known for his outspoken views on national and international issues, he’s been a vocal figure in Nigerian politics for decades.

He’s also a trained lawyer with degrees from the University of London and Cambridge, and has held various roles in government and party leadership.
