Trump’s Threat: Use bullets on terrorists or resign — SDP’s Adebayo urges Tinubu
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to use bullets on terrorists tormenting Nigeria or use the pen to tender his resignation.
Adebayo disclosed this in his remarks at the National Electoral Reforms Summit on Tuesday in Abuja.
His comments come after United States President Donald Trump recently designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and threatened possible military action against the country over alleged killings of Christians.
Reacting, Adebayo said Nigerians should hail President Trump for showing interest in the country.
He noted that a nation’s sovereignty that conflicts with international humanitarian laws will be ignored.
“Where was sovereignty when President Bola Ahmed said he wanted to invade Niger? If he could be dreaming of invading Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso because of coups, why can someone not invade him because he is neglecting his people?
“Let’s fire the feet of our government to protect us. Let us be grateful to international communities for talking about us. But if we decide to solve the problem at home, we Muslims and Christians must come together. We cannot deny certain communities in Nigeria feel attacked by genocide. It is a subjective thing. In the last two years, they have contributed money to build up to 50 churches. I have confronted over 1000 dead. In Nigeria, the question of genocide is not a debate that the government should be discussing. If your people are losing their lives in dozens, you have failed the primary purpose of government.
“The solution to that problem is that President Tinubu can use the bullet to kill the terrorists or use the pen to resign”.
