The national security adviser, nuhu ribadu, on monday held an emergency meeting with service chiefs and security heads in abuja following u.s. president donald trump’s warning of possible military intervention in nigeria.
security sources said the meeting focused on assessing the security and diplomatic implications of trump’s remarks and preparing a unified national response. according to reports, the nsa urged all agencies to strengthen intelligence coordination and reinforce nigeria’s sovereignty.
presidential aide daniel bwala maintained that the united states cannot conduct any military operation in nigeria without president bola tinubu’s approval.
reacting to the controversy, president tinubu dismissed trump’s comments as a misrepresentation of nigeria’s religious situation. he reiterated that nigeria’s constitution guarantees freedom of worship and equality for all faiths, adding that his administration continues to work with christian and muslim leaders to promote peace.
tinubu emphasized that nigeria opposes any form of religious persecution and remains committed to interfaith harmony. he also pledged to engage diplomatically with the u.s. and international partners to build understanding and cooperation.
despite this, trump insisted that u.s. military action “remains on the table,” saying america will not stand by while christians are attacked.
the office of the national security adviser is expected to issue a formal statement outlining nigeria’s official position and next steps after the high-level meeting.
