A former Acting Asst. U.S Secretary of Defence, Mr. Frank Gaffney has accused Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo of “shamelessly”lying about the killings of Christians in Nigeria..

Gaffney in a podcast, took a swipe at Osinbajo, accusing him of being part of the problems in Nigeria. “U.S. Vice President Mike Pence will have today what could be a decisive meeting for tens of millions of Christians in Nigeria now facing the prospect of genocide and forced mass emigration.

“Mr. Pence’s visitor is a man who should be on their side, his Nigerian counterpart Yemi Osinbajo. After all, he’s one of the very few Christians in a Nigerian government otherwise dominated by Islamist Fulani tribesmen.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Osinbajo is instead part of the problem. ”He lies shamelessly — including this weekend in New York — about the anti-Christian persecution his government is at least tolerating and, at worst, enabling. Osinbajo’s own tribe has sharply repudiated him for doing so.

“If Vice President Pence makes clear that all the persecutors in Nigeria will be held accountable and face penalties, he may be able to prevent a catastrophe there on his and President Trump’s watch.

Frank Gaffney, Jr. is president of the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a columnist for The Washington Times, and host of the nationally

syndicated program, Secure Freedom Radio.
