Wahab Shittu, a senior advocate for Nigeria, has urged President Bola Tinubu to talk with the US over President Trump’s threat of a military takeover.
Trump had threatened to carry out attacks in Nigeria in response to alleged anti-Christian hostile acts, saying he had given the newly renamed Department of War instructions to “prepare for possible action.”
Trump threatened to immediately stop providing any assistance to the African nation “if the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians.”
The senior lawyer reacted in a press conference by saying that Nigeria needs to start talks with the US.
He wants that President Tinubu personally lead the delegation, which includes all government officials, to stop what he claims will be the start of a US-Nigeri war.

Shittu requested that Tinubu hold additional official meetings in order to address what he termed existential threats to Nigeria and its citizens.
The senior lawyer also urged Nigerians to unite to support the government in all ways to overcome the problem.
In response to the most recent US threats of action against Nigeria, he urged the country’s president and the ruling elite to immediately speak with the US president in a diplomatic manner led by our president in collaboration with AU Heads of Governments to stop the US from starting a war against the country.
“We need to act quickly,” he said. Our president should postpone other official engagements in order to address the existential threats posed to Nigeria and her people. We must speak up, we must make peace requests to the US authorities, and we must move very quickly because the world is moving at a rapid rate and speed.
We must STRONGLY urge the AU and Commonwealth to support us in bringing our case before President Trump. To stop the US from attacking Nigeria, all relevant government officials must suspend their official duties and travel on diplomatic missions.
