Please, share this story:
A Federal Government delegation led by the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, left Abuja on Wednesday to the United States to dialogue with the US lawmaker, Riley Moore over President Donald Trump’s claim of Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Few days ago the US president, Donald Trump, alleged that there was Christian genocide in Nigeria and threatened to launch attack on the country.
The US declared Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC)
The federal government, since then, has been making frantic efforts to denounce the claim and reeled out several interventions the present government led by President Bola Tinubu had made to curb insurgency in Nigeria.
Apparently, the federal government, in a bid to let the US government know its efforts, met with the Congressman yesterday.
Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser, Media and Communications to the President, shared Congressman Riley Moore’s statement on his Facebook last night.
A 10-man delegation met with the US congressman in Washington, D.C.
The delegation, according to his post, included: Mallam Nuhu Ribadu – NSA and Leader of the delegation; Bianca Ojukwu – Minister of State for Foreign Affairs; Mr. Kayode Egbetokun – Inspector General of Police.
Chief Lateef Olasunkami Fagbemi, SAN – Attorney General of the Federation; General Olufemi Olatunbosun Oluyede – Chief of Defence Staff; Lt. Gen. EAP Undiendeye – Chief of Defence Intelligence Ms. Idayat Hassan – Special Adviser to ONSA; Ambassador Ibrahim Babani – Director of Foreign Relations, ONSA; Ambassador Nuru Biu – Acting CDA, Embassy of Nigeria and Paul Alabi – Political and Economic Section, Embassy of Nigeria
“During the delegation’s visit to Washington, D.C., the meeting allowed for a frank, honest, and productive discussion about the ongoing persecution of Christians and ongoing terrorist threats in Nigeria and opportunities for strengthened cooperation and coordination between the United States and Nigeria to end the bloodshed.
“During the meeting, Nigerian officials shared their government’s challenges and concerns regarding counterterrorism, security assistance, protection of vulnerable communities, and ongoing issues involving violence across Nigeria.
“Congressman Moore clearly stated that the United States stands ready to coordinate and cooperate with Nigeria, and that, as President Trump made abundantly clear, the United States will not tolerate continued violence against Christians or other forms of religious persecution. President Trump does not make idle threats. Congressman Moore will continue monitoring new developments and pushing the Nigerian government to accept the open hand of cooperation to stop the ongoing persecution and violence against Christians and combat the threat terrorist groups pose to the Nigerian population.
