Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has expressed optimism that Palestine will be free like South Africa.
According to him, many people are rallying behind the Palestinians to be liberated.
Fani-Kayode spoke during at the Aqsa Day organised by the Muslim Awareness International (MAI) in Lagos.
He said many people from around the world have begun to speak against the genocide in Palestine, noting it is only a question time for true liberation to come for the people of Palestine.
He said: “It is incumbent upon those of us that are so decent-minded and fear God to rise up and speak against this evil. And that’s happening all over the world; many people are speaking out. This is the way the world once spoke against apartheid in South Africa. It is only a question of time before true liberation come to the people of Palestine and Palestine will be free.

“Whether you are a Christian or Muslim, you have a right and duty to speak up for the people of Palestine, to remember that children are being killed on a daily basis, and to resist the evil zionist state that is predicated on apartheid and believes everybody else should be destroyed.”
Founder and Executive Director of Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) Prof. Lakin Akintola, called on the Federal Government to withdraw its Ambassador to Israel in protest of the several violations of resolutions of the United Nations (UN) by Israel.
Akintola said no African nation would be condoned violating the UN resolutions as Israel has done.
He said: “UN resolutions are no longer relevant as far as Israel is concerned. Israel violates UN resolution at will. Let an African nation do half of what Israel has done to the United Nations’ resolutions, and it will see fire. It will be threatened with boycott and sanctions. It is only African nations and Arab nations, Muslim countries that are victims of UN sanctions, victims of Western economic anger, military sanctions. It is the subjugation of the weak by the strong.”
