Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has called on President Bola Tinubu to take firm diplomatic action against former U.S. President Donald Trump over his recent thr+at of military action against Nigeria.
In a post shared on his verified Facebook page on Sunday, Gumi described the comment attributed to Trump as a direct affront to Nigeria’s sovereignty. He urged the government to respond swiftly and decisively.
“For Trump to threaten a sovereign country with military att+ck is a profound disrespect to our authority, but we can rise above it,” Gumi wrote.
He advised the Federal Government to summon the U.S. ambassador to Nigeria and demand an official retraction. According to him, failure to receive one should prompt Nigeria to consider cutting diplomatic ties.
“President Tinubu should summon the US ambassador; they either retract their thr+ats or we sever diplomatic ties with this irresponsible regime,” he added.
Gumi also stressed that Nigeria has alternative economic and military partnerships available, saying the country should not feel dependent on any single foreign power for its development and security.
