Nigeria’s former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode has gotten his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The controversial politician took to his social media handles on Tuesday to share photos of himself undergoing the procedure which he had vilified barely a year ago.
Recall that in 2020, Fani-Kayode described Covid vaccination as an evil ploy by Bill Gates to push a depopulation agenda.
Since sharing the photos of his vaccination procedure, the politician has come under intense criticism with Twitter users forcing him to address his initial claim. In his defence, Fani-Kayode tweeted: “The Covid vaccines we are taking in Nigeria are not Bill Gates’ vaccines and neither are we being used as Guinea pigs. These ones are tried & tested, have already been approved & have been administered successfully throughout the world. This is the Oxford Azrazeneca brand.
“There is a world of difference between what we are being given in Nigeria & the exploratory vaccines that @WHO had wanted to test Africans with which we spoke against & resisted last year. Most importantly Bill Gates& his foundation have no connection with Oxford Azrazeneca.”
Fani-Kayode is also in the news for an ongoing legal child custody battle with his estranged wife, Precious Chikwendu. Chikwendu reportedly dragged the politician to court for denying her access to their four children.
