Martin Luther King Jnr’s nephew, Farris Isaac Newton has said should be ashamed for slandering his family over an award they gave the Nigerian President. In a short video, he said;
“I’m insulted and anyone in Nigeria should be ashamed of embarrassing and slandering our good name. We came here to honour your country, your people, to establish a new bond between America and Africa,” Farris said.
“I am Martin Luther King Jnr’s nephew and you can not buy me or any member of my family for that fact. So this fake news, this slander, this lie on the family’s character is a lie. Anything that I have done here or said about your president came from my heart in my brain.
“This is not based on any compensation, no money or in exchange for anything. We don’t deal like that, the Martin Luther King family which includes three branches that is Martin Luther King Jr., who is the second son, the oldest and matriarch of the family and who is my mother, Dr Christine Farris and my second uncle, AD Williams King but none of us throughout the three branches are buyable or bribeable, we don’t do things for money, we do things on principle.”
