A public affairs analyst has attributed the recent threat from US President Donald Trump towards Nigeria to the impunity surrounding the Muslim-Muslim ticket in the country. Dickson Iroegbu made this statement during an interview on Arise Television, where he discussed the issue of Christian genocide in Nigeria.
According to Iroegbu, the lack of accountability and disregard for human life in Nigeria has led to a situation where external intervention is necessary to prompt the government to take action. He noted that the value of human life in Nigeria has only gained significance with America’s involvement. Iroegbu emphasized that there is indeed Christian genocide in Nigeria, and the government’s attempts to downplay or cover up the issue are evident.
The analyst criticized the Nigerian government’s response to the crisis, stating that governance in the country is often focused on serving the interests of those in power rather than the people. He questioned the role of the National Assembly in addressing the ongoing violence and killings in the country, which have resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives daily since 2015.
Iroegbu’s comments come amid growing concerns about the security situation in Nigeria, where both Muslims and Christians have been affected by violence and terrorism. The US President’s threat has sparked a renewed debate about the country’s human rights record and the need for the government to take decisive action to protect its citizens.
The Nigerian government has faced criticism for its handling of the crisis, with many calling for greater accountability and transparency in addressing the root causes of the violence. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the growing international pressure and whether it will take concrete steps to address the impunity and insecurity that have plagued the country for years.
