Etim Etimadvises President Bola Tinubu to take immediate steps towards addressing issues raised by United States President Donald Trump in declaring Nigeria as a country of particular concern over alleged genocide against Christians in the country.
Less than a week after President Donald Trump issued his weekend ‘’guns-a-blazing’’ threats to bomb terrorist locations in Nigeria, Senator Ted Cruz has vowed to release names of Nigerian officials who are complicit in these high crimes against the Nigerian people. In a tweet Tuesday night, the Texas senator praised President Trump for declaring Nigeria CPC (country of particular concern) and pledged to continue to fight to protect Nigerian Christians and Christians all over the world. He writes: ‘’I have been pushing legislation to designate Nigeria a CPC and to impose sanctions on the Nigerian officials responsible…Now we should take the next step and hold Nigerian officials accountable. I intend to be very explicit about who they are in the coming days and weeks’’.
I look forward to seeing the names that would be released by Senator Cruz. I will plead with the Senator to go beyond and publish names of those politicians who have, in addition, looted this country dry and bought properties all over the world.
