President Bola Tinubu has affirmed that Nigeria will not succumb to intimidation amid growing international concerns over the alleged genocide against Christians in the country.
In a statement shared on his verified X account on FridaTinubu emphasized that Nigeria would continue to stand firm and maintain its position on the global stage with “calm, clarity, and a strong sense of purpose.”
y, Tinubu responded to recent comments by U.S. President Donald Trump, who threatened possible military intervention in Nigeria over the alleged attacks on Christians.
Speaking on Nigeria’s security crisis, the President maintained that terrorism remains a long-standing challenge but assured citizens that the government is determined to overcome it.
“We are indeed faced with terrorism — a challenge Nigeria has faced for almost two decades, and we will not back down. We will decisively defeat terrorism and claim victory in this battle.
“Security is non-negotiable, and we will never compromise on this principle. With unwavering courage and a steadfast commitment to the rule of law, we will prevail,” he said.
He emphasised that national security is non-negotiable and vowed that no effort will be spared in eliminating threats to peace.
The President urged Nigeria’s international partners to continue supporting the country, noting that collaboration is critical to sustaining progress already made.
This is coming in the wake of the threat by the US President Donald Trump that he had asked the Defence Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians”.
Trump had earlier designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, CPC, in response to allegations of widespread persecution and genocide against Christians.
