Former Nigerian Senator Shehu Sani has taken to social media to offer a unique perspective on the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
In a post on his official X account, Sani humorously challenged both nations to demonstrate their concern for Nigeria through tangible actions.
"Israel is warning us against Iran and Iran is warning us against Israel," Sani wrote, highlighting the competing narratives coming from both countries.
The senator's comments come amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with Iran and Israel exchanging threats and warnings in recent months.
Sani, known for his outspoken nature and often satirical commentary on political issues, continued his post with a provocative suggestion: "If the two countries love us that much, I command them to build power stations and donate to Nigeria. Any of the country that fails to do that is the one that doesn't love us."
This statement underscores Nigeria's ongoing challenges with power infrastructure, a critical issue that has long plagued the country's development efforts.
By linking international geopolitics to Nigeria's domestic needs, Sani effectively draws attention to the priorities of developing nations amidst global conflicts.
The former senator concluded his post with a pointed message to both nations: "If you can't help us please keep quiet."
