Trump’s Threat on Nigeria is opportunity for President Tinubu to act, says Ellis-Ezenekwe

Engr Ikenna Ellis-Ezenekwe, the President General Igbo Community Association in FCT has said that President Donald  Trump’s Threat on Nigeria is opportunity for President Tinubu to act.

He said the designation of Nigeria as a country of special interest is definitely an embarrassment to the giant of Africa. It also serves as an opportunity for the Tinubu administration to wipe the religious terrorists out of Nigeria so as to save the lives of Nigerians.

In a press release, he said: “Nigeria has had a history of religious violence dating back to the days when people of Igbo extraction were prosecuted and killed in thousands in Northern Nigeria. It is not untrue to say that Christians have suffered genocidal killing in Nigeria, and continues to suffer such killings till date.

“The people of the north central Nigeria particularly the people of Benue and Plateau State including the people southern Kaduna have suffered the latest brunt of religious killings by religious terrorists.

“It has been a sad and embarrassing ordeal that remains an albatross exacerbated by the inability of the Federal Government of Nigeria to checkmate the killings over the years.

“It is on this note that the President of the Federal Government of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is called to step up to the plate and grab the opportunity to eradicate the menace.

“President Tinubu should ask the American President, Donald Trump for help towards eradicating the menace.

“Too many innocent lives have been lost to marauding bandits and religious terrorists. Nigeria can be made great again.”
