Speaking on Navalny’s death, Akinyemi said, “I think when things like this happen, the opposition side in international affairs will seek to milk it for all its worth, and I just believe that we should focus on seeking an explanation to what happened.
“Number 1, nothing happens in Russia unless Putin sanctions it, so, we don’t need to bother about who is responsible for the death of Navalny. We need to ask, why did he go back after they had sought to poison him?”
