SENATE TO ENGAGE EXECUTIVE OVER TRUMP’S MILITARY THREAT TO NIGERIA

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has said the upper chamber will engage the executive arm of government over the recent threat by U.S. President Donald Trump to launch a military attack on Nigeria.

Akpabio stated this on Tuesday, explaining that the matter falls under foreign policy and diplomatic relations, which require a coordinated national response.

He said: “We have not discussed the issue of President Trump yet in chambers. We shall do so in combination with the executive because we believe it is a matter of foreign policy and diplomatic relations. I have refrained from taking any motion on that yet until we know the direction of government and what government intends to do.”

Trump had, over the weekend, threatened to take military action against Nigeria following allegations of genocide against Christians in the country.

The U.S. president said: “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns-a-blazing, to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has dismissed allegations of genocide, maintaining that no section of the country is being targeted based on religion.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, stated this after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said religious extremists promoting the genocide narrative are attempting to divide the country.

Idris noted that President Tinubu has remained calm amid Trump’s threat and is working to ensure that the international community understands Nigeria’s position and ongoing efforts to strengthen national security.

He added that the recent appointment of new service chiefs is part of the government’s broader strategy to curb insecurity across the country.
