Supo Ayokunle, the former head of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has urged President Bola Tinubu to contact US President Donald Trump about the killings of Christians in Nigeria.
This is a “sad development,” according to Ayokunle, who spoke in an interview on Channels Television’s Inside Sources program.
He lamented that the situation had persisted for more than 15 years and warned that if not resolved quickly the situation might get worse.
He advised the US government to negotiate diplomatically to prevent tensions from rising.
He argues that Nigeria should contact Washington directly if it needs assistance rather than wait for outside assistance.
Donald Trump ought to speak with President Tinubu. We should make a request for assistance if it is necessary.
We must not wait until the US arrives with its troops. It will be challenging to return them once they arrive. We do not want another type of imperialism, Ayokunle asserted.
His remarks come in response to Trump’s recent threats to Nigerian military action over reported attacks on Christians.
If Nigeria didn’t stop the killings, the US president claimed he had asked the Pentagon to create a plan of action.
