The Muslim Rights Concern has called on the Federal Government not to grant the alleged request of the United States to site one of its military bases in Nigeria.
In a statement on Sunday by its Director, Dr. Is-haq Akintola, the group urged the FG to consider the implication of allowing a world superpower to site its base within Nigeria’s territory.
“We are asking the question: Why must a foreign country set up a military base in Nigeria at this point in time? Who needs it and for what? Who benefits from it and how? Is Nigeria now a satellite nation? Have we turned the country into a banana republic?
“Has Nigeria been sold to the hawks? If so, who sold it? Is it a military base we need now in this country or food security, power generation, good health facilities, good roads, qualitative education, etc,,” the group asked.
