A former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has commended the release of the 11 Nigerian Air Force personnel from Burkina Faso.
In a post via his verified X handle on Thursday, Sani said Africans should not be pawns of neocolonialists and imperialists.
DAILY POST reports that Burkina Faso has released a Nigerian Air Force aircraft and 11 personnel.
Reacting, the former lawmaker said, “The release of the Nigerian Airforce men held by the Ibrahim Traore led military junta is commendable. Our Foreign Affairs Minister’s diplomatic shuttle bears fruit.
“As Africans, we need to constantly remind ourselves that we are brothers and sisters who should not be lackeys or pawns of neocolonialists and imperialists, whose interest in our continent is basically our resources.
“And it’s easier and more accessible to them when we are in conflict with each other,” he said.
