In a statement on his verified Twitter account, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, a prominent Nigerian politician, issued a stark warning about the escalating tensions in the Middle East, suggesting that the world is on the brink of a global conflict.
He highlighted the ongoing wàr in Gaza and predicted that the situation could spiral into a wider regional wàr, potentially drawing in major global powers.
Fani-Kayode argued that the conflict, which initially involved Israel and Hamas, is likely to expand, with Iran entering the fray and the United States stepping in to support Israel. He warned that this could escalate further into a global confrontation, with Russia and China likely to join the conflict, alongside Arab and African nations. According to his prediction, such a broad-based conflict could evolve into World Wàr III.
He further emphasized the grave risks of this scenario, noting that if the conflict reaches this stage, Israel might resort to using its nuclear arsenal, with the U.S. potentially doing the same. Fani-Kayode expressed concern that the use of nùclear weapons could result in catastrophic consequences, one reason why global powers have hesitated to fully commit to military intervention.
This ominous forecast by Fani-Kayode reflects the growing anxiety around the ongoing violence in Gaza, which has already caused widespread destruction and loss of life. His statement suggests that the global community must tread carefully, as further escalation could lead to unprecedented devastation.
