Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has criticized the Presudent of tue United States Donald Trump, describing the latest threat to launch military action in Nigeria to protect Christians as a perilous means of actions.

OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that Sowore made this known via his X handle (@YeleSowore) on Sunday, in a statement, which reads, “The latest threat by U.S. President Donald Trump (@POTUS) to launch military action in Nigeria, allegedly to protect Christians, may sound appealing to some. Still, history has shown this to be perilous.

In Sowore's words, “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. They failed to secure peace in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Syria, and they won’t bring salvation to Nigeria through bombs or boots on the ground.”

According to Sowore, what Nigeria needs for now is not a foreign saviour but an accoutable leadership that protects all citizens and upholds justice by all means.

He stated that, “What Nigeria truly needs is not a foreign saviour, but legitimate, accountable leadership, one that protects all citizens, upholds justice, and ends the cycles of corruption and violence that have left the nation broken”.

The human rights activist further added that Donald Trump does not really care about any Nigerian, be it of any religion, but what we need as a nation is National Renewal.

“Donald Trump(@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. #RevolutionNow”, the human right activist emphasized.

OTN News observes that Sowore's reaction is coming after a threat by the American President to take action against so-called Muslim extremists reportedly killing innocent Christians in the populous African country amid counter claims by the Presidency of the country that the insecurity in the heterogeneous country is not skewed along religious lines.
