Nigeria's former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has slammed US President Donald Trump, accusing him of mocking his adversaries.

This was after Trump revealed that the US knows where Iran's Supreme Leader is and can "take him out" if they want.

"Must you always humiliate and taunt your perceived enemies in this way?" asked Fani-Kayode in a post on X.

"Have you no self-restraint, decency or decorum? This is madness. First, it was your insensitive words about taking over #Gaza and turning it into an American Riviera, then it was your wild and baseless tirade against South African blacks and attack on the South African President in the White House, claiming that white people were being subjected to genocide in his country and now this!"

Fani-Kayode also had harsh words for Trump concerning his plans to kill Iran's Supreme Leader.

"You have lost your mind. Kill the Supreme Leader of Iran if you dare and after that, if it pleases you, send in your Marines to occupy his country. It will signal the beginning of the end of the American empire which would actually be a great thing.

"I had so much respect and affection for you but to think that a genocidal maniac, child-killer and psychopathic leader of a death cult like Bibi Netanyahu and the war-mongering neocons in your midst could manipulate and mislead you into dragging your great country into yet another military conflict and possibly spark off WW3 is such a shame.

"You promised the world peace but instead you have brought nothing but empty promises, lies, threats, dashed hopes, shattered dreams, conflicts, division, strife, war and destruction. Your imminent attack on Iran, in the name of saving Israel, will set the Middle East on fire, prepare the stage for WW3, divide your country, split your #MAGA movement and ultimately lead to the destruction of America.

"You are a disaster! Worse still you have betrayed your mission and calling. You are not a true Believer but a fake because true Believers do not support mass murder, genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, war crimes, regime change, injustice, the slaughter of women and children, the suppression of the oppressed, the oppression of the weak or any other manner of evil. Such a pity! All I see in you is vanity and an Icarus-like hubris which will of course lead to your nemesis."

He concluded by advising US conservative voices not to fall into the trap of going to war with Iran.

"For once, let Israel fight her own battles," he said.
