Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has applauded the decision by Mali and Burkina Faso to impose visa restrictions on United States nationals.
Reacting in a post on his verified X account on Friday, Sani described the move as a bold and symbolic response, insisting that “nobody has the monopoly of madness.”
He said the action taken by Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger was a courageous retaliation to visa bans and restrictions introduced by former US President Donald Trump, calling it a proud moment for Africa.
According to Sani, attempts by Africans to disown their identity or demean their countries in order to please imperial powers often end in rejection.
“No matter how the Black man tries to disown and demean his country and lick the boots of imperialism, he will never be embraced or loved by the ideologically far right,” he stated.
Nigerian Newssphere recalls that Mali and Burkina Faso recently announced travel restrictions on American nationals, explaining the rationale behind their decision in response to US policies affecting their citizens.
