Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has stated that Nigeria presently requires cooperation rather than confrontation.
He made this known in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, while reacting to the recent threat made by United States President Donald Trump.
Trump had reportedly directed the US Defence Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians.”
Responding to this, Omokri said that extremists are not only enemies of Nigerian Muslims, Christians, and citizens of other faiths but also pose a threat to global peace.
He wrote, “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.”
