Former presidential candidate and prominent activist, Omoyele Sowore has condemned US President Donald Trump’s rhetoric against Nigeria, saying no Nigerian irrespective of their religion should celebrate it.
Trump has threatened to unleash the might of the US military on islamists allegedly killing Christians in Nigeria, a move some analysts say is a ploy to infringe on the territorial integrity of Africa’s most populous nation.
In a statement shared on X, Sowore noted that the United States has a history of embarking on military interventions that leave the affected nations more unstable afterwards.
He said no Nigerian should welcome any attempt to invade the country under any guise.
Sowore said, “The latest threat by U.S. President Donald Trump @POTUS to launch military action in Nigeria, allegedly to protect Christians, may sound appealing to some. Still, history has shown this to be perilous.

“Whether you are Christian, Muslim, animist, or non-religious, no one should celebrate such rhetoric.
“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.
“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.”
The activist asserted that Trump does not care about Nigerians, whether 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,” Sowore added.
