Tinubu rallies global allies after Trump threatens military action over Nigeria killings

President Bola Tinubu has said his government is engaging with international partners to address concerns raised by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who threatened military action against terror groups in Nigeria over alleged mass killings of Christians. Speaking at the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja on Thursday, Tinubu assured Nigerians that his administration would overcome terrorism and maintain national stability.

The President’s remarks came days after Trump labelled Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern,” alleging persecution of Christians. He also instructed U.S. officials to “prepare for possible action” in response. Government […]

US Congress seeks visa bans, asset freezes on Miyetti Allah

A new bill introduced in the United States Congress seeks to impose visa bans and asset freezes on members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over alleged violations of religious freedom against Christians in Nigeria. The bill, sponsored by Representative Christopher Smith, follows the U.S. re-designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) under the International Religious Freedom Act — a status given to countries accused of serious violations of religious freedom. Smith praised U.S. President Donald Trump for the decision, which came amid growing tensions between Washington and Abuja over allegations of religious persecution. The Nigerian Federal Government, however, dismissed any panic, saying it has opened diplomatic discussions with the U.S. to address the concerns.

Baba-Ahmed urges Tinubu to address Nigerians on Trump’s threat

Former Presidential Adviser, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has urged President Bola Tinubu to personally address Nigerians following the recent military threat issued by United States President Donald Trump. In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Thursday, Baba-Ahmed expressed worry over the President’s continued silence after Trump accused Nigeria of allowing the killing of Christians and warned of a possible U.S. military response. He said the President’s failure to speak directly to Nigerians could be perceived as a sign of weakness at a time when decisive leadership and reassurance are needed. “If President Tinubu truly has capable advisers and understands the weight of his office, he should have spoken to Nigerians by now,” Baba-Ahmed said. “This is not the time for ministers or aides to issue statements. The President himself should reassure the country, clarify Nigeria’s position, and outline the steps […]

Calls grow for referendum amid dispute over Constitution reform

A renewed push for a referendum in Nigeria’s Constitution has sparked nationwide debate among legal experts, civil society groups, and regional organisations. Many describe the current system as elite-driven and undemocratic, calling for a people-endorsed Constitution that reflects true national consensus. Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Wole Olanipekun, recently described the absence of a referendum clause in the 1999 Constitution as a major flaw. His remarks reignited public concern over how Nigeria’s constitutions have historically been imposed without popular ratification. Since independence, no Nigerian constitution has ever been approved through a national referendum. Under the current arrangement, amendments require the support of two-thirds of both chambers of the National Assembly and at least two-thirds of state Houses of Assembly. Critics argue that this legislative process excludes the citizens whose lives the laws govern. Groups such as Afenifere, Yoruba Ronu, PANDEF, and […]
