The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged President Bola Tinubu to act swiftly, wisely, and diplomatically in addressing the growing concerns about the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Speaking during November Holy Ghost Service at the Redemption City camp ground, Adeboye said that the government must adopt a balanced and strategic approach to the security challenges confronting the nation.

“If I am asked to make suggestions, I will say quietly to the governments to move wisely, diplomatically,” he said. “I have cousins. There were times in Nigeria when Christians and Muslims were living together. I have families that are Muslims till date. When I was little, I ate sari with them, and I still eat my breakfast, but the issue of religion started when politics came into religion.”

Adeboye explained that he had previously advised past presidents privately on security and religious matters but emphasised that such efforts were limited since only the Commander-in-Chief has the power to take decisive action.

“All the presidents who were around when this trouble started, whatever I discussed is top privacy. I have done my best behind the scene, but as I have always told you, you can only advise a Commander-in-Chief; you cannot command him. But I have tried. God is my witness.”

The cleric then outlined what he would do if given the opportunity to advise the government again.

“What should we do now? If I was asked to make suggestions, I will say quietly to our government: move fast, move diplomatically, move wisely. Find a way to convince the President of America to please delay his actions for about 100 days, and then come home and tell our security chiefs to get rid of these terrorists within 90 days or resign.”

He recalled a similar directive issued by former President Muhammadu Buhari, which he said was not effectively followed through.

“There was a President, Buhari, who issued such an order. He called the service chiefs together and said, ‘Get rid of these Boko Haram people or resign.’ He ran with that advice but he did not follow through because he gave the order as the Commander, but he did not follow up. The work was not done after three months, so I went to see him. I asked him, ‘Why did you not proceed with your threat?’ One thing came out of the meeting which will lead me to the advice.”

Adeboye further advised that any new order from President Tinubu to the military should go beyond fighting insurgents to targeting their financiers and backers.

“When giving orders to the service chiefs this time around, he should make it clear to them they are not only to eliminate the terrorists but also eliminate the sponsors, no matter how influential they may be.”

He also cautioned that Nigeria should tread carefully in its diplomatic dealings with global powers, warning that no foreign nation would come to its rescue if conflict escalates.

“When I say our leaders should move diplomatically, we must take note of the fact that if America should attack us, China is not coming to defend us. Likewise Russia and Britain. All the so-called world leaders, they will talk and condemn what America has done, but they won’t help us.”

Adeboye emphasised that the moment called for action rather than debate or excuses.

“This is not the time to joke. This is not the time for grammar, not time to argue, is it suicide or kidnap? This is not the time to say it’s not Christians alone, Muslims are also involved. Innocent people are dying.”

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has described President Donald Trump’s Christian genocide claims and threat of military action as an embarrassment to the country, blaming the Nigerian government’s inability to tackle insecurity. 

Falana, who spoke on Wednesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, cited the government’s inability to tackle crimes like kidnapping for ransom, among others. 

“Why have we brought this embarrassment to ourselves as a people that we are being treated as a neocolony of the United States of America?” the senior lawyer asked. 

“We cannot even challenge Mr Trump, ‘How dare you? Where is this hypocrisy coming from?’”

Trump last week declared Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) over what he said was a “mass slaughter of Christians”. He later threatened military action in the West African nation if authorities fail to address the issue quickly. 

“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. 

Trump’s comment had triggered a wave of debate within and outside the country, with the Federal Government denying the claims.

Weighing in on the matter, Falana said the recent development is a wake-up call for Nigeria to put its house in order. 

“For us as a people and for the government of Nigeria, we must now take Mr Trump’s warning as a wake-up call,” the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) said on the current affairs show.

Bode George, a member of the board of trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has warned Sule Lamido, former governor of Jigawa, not to take the party to court over the sale of nomination forms for national chairmanship contest.

Speaking George said Lamido must first explore the party’s internal dispute resolution processes before seeking redress in court.

The PDP chieftain also said Lamido has every right to contest for the party’s national chairmanship position.

“The fact that those leaders converged and supported one individual as a consensus candidate doesn’t mean others can’t contest,” George said.

“You want to make the process seamless. It’s an internal dynamic. We have done this before, but the party has never stopped anyone from contesting.

“My friend Sule Lamido has the right to compete. He can go and get the form, fill it, and follow the normal process to appear on the day of the convention. We will vote.

“But before you take the party to court, you must exhaust the internal dynamics of the party. If you fail to do that, you can be punished.

“So, he (Lamido) is exercising his rights, but if he goes to court for this, he can be punished.”

“Let him go; nobody will deny him any form, and he can compete. The final decision will be by delegates attending the convention, and it will be done openly.”

George emphasised that the PDP constitution provides for internal conflict resolution procedures that all members must respect to maintain discipline within the party.

His comments followed Lamido’s claim that top PDP officials are obstructing his attempt to purchase nomination forms for the chairmanship race.

The former governor also vowed to take legal action against the PDP if he is prevented from obtaining the nomination form to contest the party’s national chairmanship position.

There has been disquiet within the opposition party following the recent zoning arrangement, which allocated the national chairmanship position to the north-west.

It was reported that the tension started when Omobayo was introduced as the former deputy governor at the event in Abuja on Tuesday, prompting Shaibu to object publicly.

The event briefly descended into chaos as both men argued over legitimacy.

Shaibu, while speaking after the incident, said the introduction was improper, insisting Omobayo was never elected but brought in through the backdoor.

According to him, a court judgement had declared his removal illegal, stressing that the office was never vacant.

According to him, a court judgement had declared his removal illegal, stressing that the office was never vacant.

Responding, Omobayo said he never made himself deputy governor, describing the clash as almost a national disgrace and added that he had tried to remain calm.

Recall that Philip Shaibu was impeached as Edo Deputy Governor in April 2024 and was replaced by Omobayo Godwins.

But a court later ruled the impeachment was unlawful and reinstated him.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has described as very embarrassing the resignation of Bayelsa State governor, Douye Diri, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Recall that the governor was chairing the PDP zoning committee for the elective national convention, scheduled for November 15 and 16, when he quit the party.

Speaking during a media chat on Friday in Abuja, Wike said Diri’s decision to leave the PDP was disappointing.

“It is very embarrassing. The governor was the chairman of the convention committee. Diri was the chairman of the zoning committee. Even though I knew from the beginning that they were all playing games,” he said.
