Human rights activist and convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, Omoyele Sowore, has condemned the recent threat by the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump (@POTUS), to launch military action in Nigeria under the pretext of protecting Christians.
In a statement shared via his verified X handle, @YeleSowore, the activist described the move as “perilous,” warning Nigerians not to celebrate such rhetoric regardless of their religious affiliation.
“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,” Sowore wrote.
He cited past U.S. interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria as examples that failed to secure peace, stressing that foreign powers would not bring salvation to Nigeria “through bombs or boots on the ground.”
Sowore emphasized that Nigeria’s deliverance must come from within, through “legitimate and accountable leadership” that protects all citizens and addresses corruption and injustice.
“@realDonaldTrump does not care about Nigerians — not 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,” he added.
