Former federal lawmaker Shehu Sani has urged President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the security crisis rocking the country.

Sani made the call on Sunday while reacting to the threat by United States President Donald Trump of possible military action in Nigeria over alleged Christian genocide in the country.

The ex-Kaduna Central senator said he “stands unambiguously opposed to any act of Mr. Donald J. Trump’s foreign military aggression against my country under any guise, disguise, or excuse.”

Countering Trump’s description of Nigeria as “a disgrace,” Sani declared that his “country is not ‘a disgraced country’ and will never be.”

He added:

“I wish to also strongly call on the Government of my country to expedite action to crush terrorists and annihilate bandits, secure the lives of our people, and defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country.

“The killings and kidnappings must be brought to an end. Thank you, and God bless.”

Trump’s threat to deploy the U.S. military to Nigeria to tackle the alleged massacre of Christians has been generating mixed reactions.
