A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has said that Nigeria at the moment needs cooperation rather than confrontation.
He made this statement in a post via his verified X handle on Sunday in reaction to the threat of US President Donald Trump.
DAILY POST reports that Trump had asked the Defence Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians”.
Reacting, Omokri said that the extremists are not just enemies of Nigerian Muslims, Christians, as well as Nigerians of other faiths, but are also threats to world peace.
“Nigeria is my country, and I love my country and extend the right hand of fellowship to the government and people of Nigeria, and to President Bola Tinubu, as the government of Nigeria works to serve Nigeria and all her people, irrespective of their ethnic, religious, and regional backgrounds.
“I call on the international community to support Nigeria in achieving its security objectives by providing intelligence and other assistance, so that our gallant armed forces, who have worked arm in arm with the armed forces of the United States in places like Liberia and other conflict zones, can create a safe environment for all Nigerians.
“These extremists are not just enemies of Nigerian Muslims, Christians, as well as Nigerians of other faiths, they are also threats to world peace, and Nigeria needs cooperation at this moment to deal with them, rather than confrontation,” he wrote.
