Trump’s Threat: US Plots To Endanger Nigerians For Reasons – Ex-President Warns Citizens

Former military head of state, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), has passionately urged the citizens of Nigeria to set aside their differences and unify in the defense of their nation’s sovereignty.

His call to action came in light of alarming statements made by former US President Donald Trump, which Abubakar characterized as a serious threat to the hard-earned unity of Nigeria.

Over the weekend, Trump reignited a contentious debate regarding Nigeria’s pressing security issues by once again designating the country as a “country of particular concern.”

In a statement released on Friday, Trump made shocking claims about the state of affairs in Nigeria, asserting that the nation was enduring what he termed a “Christian genocide.”

He went on to accuse the Nigerian government of failing in its duty to protect Christians from violent attacks carried out by “Islamic terrorists.”

Abubakar’s response underscores the importance of solidarity among Nigerians in the face of external criticisms and challenges.

He went further to threaten military action, saying: “The USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country ‘guns-a-blazing’, to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists killing Christians.”

The remark has sparked global concern and speculation about the possibility of direct US military involvement in Nigeria, one of Washington’s oldest allies in Africa.

Speaking in a telephone interview from London on Monday, Abdulsalami warned that Trump’s words could endanger Nigeria’s peace if not carefully managed.

He called on citizens to remain united, stressing that the moment demands “unity, wisdom, and diplomacy” rather than anger or division.

“Unity, wisdom, and diplomacy must take precedence over division and pride at this critical moment,” he said.

Abdulsalami also appealed to the United States to support Nigeria’s fight against insecurity through cooperation rather than threats.

According to him, “strategic dialogue” remains the most effective way to engage Washington and de-escalate the tension.

He added that Nigeria should rely on quiet diplomacy to resolve any misunderstandings and ensure that both countries continue to work together on shared security objectives.
