Ex-Nigerian Minister Sounds Alarm: Trump’s Venezuela Raid Could Trigger Third World War.

Akinyemi, who previously served as Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, argued that the United States, under former President Donald Trump, flagrantly violated Venezuela’s sovereignty, escalating tensions to dangerous levels that could provoke a third world war.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, he expressed alarm over the broader geopolitical implications of Trump’s actions, particularly for countries like Nigeria that are vulnerable to instability on the global stage.
Reflecting on past warnings, Akinyemi recalled his advocacy in the 1970s for Nigeria to develop a robust power base to safeguard its national interests amid international volatility. He said, “We in Nigeria are at the crossroads of global instability. When I was Director General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, I was urging that Nigeria build a powerbase that will protect itself. At the time, many dismissed my warnings.”
The international crisis intensified on January 3 when Trump announced the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from the Miraflores Palace in Caracas. He reinforced his announcement by posting images of a blindfolded and handcuffed Maduro aboard the USS Iwo Jima, a U.S. amphibious assault ship.
Akinyemi warned that such provocative actions risk not only global security but also the stability of nations caught in the middle of geopolitical tensions, urging world powers to exercise caution and respect for international law.
