Our deliverance will never come from abroad – Sowore slams Trump’s military threat

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised United States President, Donald Trump over his recent threat to launch military action in Nigeria, allegedly to protect Christians in the country.

In a post shared on X on Sunday, Sowore warned Nigerians not to celebrate such rhetoric, saying foreign intervention has never brought peace to any nation.

“The latest threat by U.S. President Donald Trump to launch military action in Nigeria, allegedly to protect Christians, may sound appealing to some. Still, history has shown this to be perilous,” Sowore wrote.

He urged Nigerians regardless of religion to reject the idea of foreign interference, stressing that America’s past military interventions had only worsened the countries involved.

“The United States and its allies have a long record of military interventions that leave nations more unstable than before. They failed to secure peace in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Syria, and they won’t bring salvation to Nigeria through bombs or boots on the ground,” he said.

According to Sowore, what Nigeria needs is not help from abroad but genuine leadership that can protect citizens and build a just society.

“What Nigeria truly needs is not a foreign savior, but legitimate, accountable leadership one that protects all citizens, upholds justice, and ends the cycles of corruption and violence that have left the nation broken,” he added.

Sowore also took a swipe at the political class, saying real change would not come from leaders like President Bola Tinubu.

“Trump does not care about Nigerians, not Christians, Muslims, or anyone else. Our deliverance will never come from abroad; it must come from within, through real leadership not the Tinubus of this world and national renewal,” he said.

Christian genocide: We can’t continue like this – Inibehe reacts as US military prepares for action

Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has welcomed move by President Donald Trump’s administration to take action against alleged Christian massacre in Nigeria.

DAILY POST reports that Trump on Saturday threatened that if the Nigerian government fails to protect Christians, the US military will not hesitate to take action.

Subsequently, the United States Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, said the Department of War is preparing for action in Nigeria if the Christians are further attacked.

Reacting, Inibehe in a post on X, said “the killings have gone on for too long”, stating that Nigerians cannot continue with the deteriorating security crisis.

He said, “If this is what it will take for the Nigerian government to wake up to its primary responsibility, so be it.

“The idea that our Armed Forces is so weak and ineffective is unacceptable to me.

“Communities have been accusing Nigeria’s military of shielding the terrorists. We have seen too many videos of communities and victims openly confronting the military for allegedly working with insurgents.

“We have not seen any serious effort to get to the root of these allegations.

“We cannot continue like this. Enough is Enough”.

Tinubu ahead of orchestrated game unfolding in US – Presidency replies Trump

The Presidency has said that President Bola Tinubu was well ahead of what it described as the “orchestrated game” unfolding in the United States.

Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, stated this in a post on X on Sunday while reacting to recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump.

President Trump had on Friday designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern, citing what he described as ongoing violence against Christians and failure of the government to protect religious minorities.

However, Nigerian government denied persecution of any religious groups in Nigeria.

On Saturday Trump also threatened military action against Nigeria.

Reacting, Onanuga quoted an excerpt from Tinubu’s recent address to newly appointed service chiefs.

He noted that the President had already emphasized the need for proactive and decisive action against emerging security threats across the country.

He wrote: “President Bola Tinubu was well ahead of the orchestrated game unfolding in America as he told the new service chiefs on Thursday what Nigerians expect of them. No more excuses, he said. Nigerians want results. Here is the excerpt of his speech:

“Security threats are constantly evolving, constantly mutating. Of grave concern to our administration is the recent emergence of new armed groups in the North-Central, North-West, and parts of the South. We must not allow these new threats to fester. We must be decisive and proactive. Let us smash the new snakes right in the head.

“I charge you, as the heads of our nation’s armed forces, to carry out your duties with patriotic zeal. Nigerians expect results, not excuses.

“I charge you also to be innovative, pre-emptive, and courageous. Let’s stay ahead of those who seek to threaten our peace. Let us deploy technology where necessary. We cannot allow the crisis that began in 2009 to persist any longer.

“I wish you success as you take up the challenge. I promise to provide all the support you need to get the job done”.

BREAKING: Christian genocide: Tinubu to meet US President, Trump

The Presidency has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu will soon meet his United States, US, counterpart, Donald Trump “in the coming days.”

Daniel Bwala, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on policy communication, said the meeting will be centred around claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Bwala’s statement follows Trump’s recent remarks accusing the Nigerian government of ignoring attacks on Christians

Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “Both President @officialABAT and President @realDonaldTrump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity.

“President Trump has assisted Nigeria a lot by authorizing the sale of arms to Nigeria and President Tinubu has adequately utilized the opportunity in the fight against terrorism for which we have massive results to show for it.

“As for the differences as to whether terrorists in Nigeria target only Christians or in fact all faiths and no faiths, the differences if they exist would be discussed and resolved by the two leaders when they meet in the coming days, either in State House or White House.”

Trump had threatened military action against Nigeria to “wipe out” terrorists killing Christians in the country.

He also warned that the United States might cut off all aid and assistance to Nigeria.

According to Bwala, both leaders share a strong commitment to tackling insurgency and terrorism.

He noted that Trump had previously supported Nigeria by approving arms sales, which Tinubu’s administration has “adequately utilised” in its counterterrorism efforts.

IPOB backs designation of Nigeria as Country of Particular Concern, demands probe of South-East killings

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has commended the designation of Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ by the United States government.

IPOB backs designation of Nigeria as Country of Particular Concern, demands probe of South-East killings

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has commended the designation of Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ by the United States government.

Reacting to the development in a statement on Sunday, IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful noted that a Canadian court had earlier designated Nigeria’s major political parties – All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as terrorist organizations.

Thanking US President Donald Trump for taking the decision, IPOB described the designation of Nigeria as a country of particular concern as a moral victory for justice, truth and the sanctity of human life.

The group in the same vein urged the US government to probe ethno-religious killings in Nigeria, particularly in the South-East.

The statement read, “The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the able leadership of our supreme leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, warmly welcomes the recent designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern by the government of the United States.

“This development comes on the heels of the Canadian court’s landmark designation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as terror-enabling organisations.

“The IPOB family extends profound gratitude to President Donald J. Trump, Senator Ted Cruz, and to all patriotic Biafrans and friends of Biafra in the United States who have relentlessly championed this noble cause. Their courageous advocacy has brought global attention to the evil of religious persecution, state-sponsored violence, and sectarian killings that have long plagued Nigeria, particularly targeting the Christian and Igbo populations.

“This recognition is not merely symbolic; it represents a moral victory for justice, truth, and the sanctity of human life. By calling out the Nigerian state’s complicity in ethnic and religious violence, the international community has helped save countless lives that would otherwise have been lost to orchestrated insecurity and genocidal attacks.

“However, IPOB insists that the work of the US government and the broader international community is far from complete. There remains an urgent need for an independent international inquiry into the root causes of persistent ethno-religious killings and insecurity in Igboland. Such an inquiry is essential to unmask the perpetrators, financiers, and political enablers behind these heinous acts, and to ensure that justice is done in accordance with international human rights law.

“We salute the unyielding courage and resilience of all Biafrans worldwide, especially the exceptional advocacy of American Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID), Ambassadors for Self-Determination and Rising Sun, along with other advocates of liberty around the world who have continued to speak against tyranny, impunity, and the ongoing genocide against our people and Northern Nigeria Christian communities. History will remember your courage. Relief shall at last come to the people of the long suffering peoples of the Middle Belt region as a result of this designation.

“Once again, we commend all members of this great IPOB family for their unwavering determination in pursuit of freedom rooted in liberty for all. All of you played a part in this significant diplomatic milestone. Together, we have taken another step towards truth, justice, and the restoration of the dignity of all peoples trapped in this Lugardian contraption called Nigeria.”
