Former Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, Sam Amadi, has said he will support President Bola Tinubu if he takes decisive steps to eliminate religious and ethnic prerogatives in the country.

Amadi stated this in a post on X on Monday, describing such tendencies as major obstacles to the country’s progress and stability.

“Anyone who successfully removes the hold of religious and ethnic prerogatives on Nigeria, I will support that person, even if it is @officialABAT,” he wrote.

He added that Nigeria cannot achieve prosperity or stability while being held back by “neo-feudal and theocratic prerogatives.”

DAILY POST reported that US President Donald Trump recently designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern, with threat to unleash military action on Nigeria if nothing is done quickly about the matter.

Trump cited what he described as ongoing violence against Christians and failure of the government to protect religious minorities.

However, the Nigerian government strongly denied persecution of any religious group in Nigeria.
