Religion not Nigeria’s crisis, says Soyinka
Soyinka
Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has faulted recent remarks by United States President Donald Trump, who classified Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged persecution of Christians.

He warned that such sweeping statements distort reality and risk deepening religious divisions.

Trump had, earlier this month, threatened possible military action against Nigeria over alleged killings of Christians by radical Islamists.

The Federal Government dismissed the claim, insisting that insecurity in Nigeria affects citizens of all faiths.

In an interview with Democracy Now, Soyinka said the country’s crisis should not be mistaken for a war between Christians and Muslims, but rather seen as a struggle against extremist groups that have weaponised religion for political and economic gain.

“We must separate Nigeria’s long-standing internal problems from President Trump’s recent response. The Christian–Islam, or Islam-versus-the-rest dichotomy has existed for decades. It became truly horrendous when politics got mixed up with religious differences,” Soyinka said.

He accused successive leaders of exploiting religion for power and failing to hold extremists accountable, which allowed impunity to thrive.

Citing the brutal lynching of a student accused of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad, Soyinka lamented that her killers went unpunished despite being caught on video.

“When perpetrators of such horrors go free, it strengthens the perception that a brutal war is going on between Christians and Muslims. In truth, we are dealing with extremists – political Islamists, sometimes known as ISWAP or Boko Haram – not with Muslims as a people,” he noted.

The Nobel laureate said extremist groups had formed alliances with global terrorist networks and accessed sophisticated weapons that sometimes overwhelm the Nigerian military. He blamed past leaders for failing to decisively confront violent fundamentalism.

“When we have sweeping statements like Trump’s, it doesn’t make things easier. It expands regions of hostility and makes peaceful resolution even more difficult,” he said.

On the reported revocation of his U.S. visa, Soyinka said it stemmed from his criticism of Trump’s administration.

“I have a feeling that I haven’t been flattering Donald Trump — and I see no reason to do that,” he said, adding that Trump should feel “flattered” by his earlier comparison of him to former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.

Fed Govt urges calm
The Federal Government yesterday urged Nigerians to remain calm amid the diplomatic row sparked by Trump’s comments.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, made the appeal during a courtesy visit to Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State.

In a statement by his media aide, Malam Rabiu Ibrahim, the minister said President Bola Tinubu has the capacity to safeguard the nation and maintain strong ties with its international partners.

“As such, Nigerians should not panic; please remain calm. President Tinubu has the capacity to amicably resolve the matter,” Idris assured.

He was in Jigawa to attend the North West 2025 Youth Pally and the presentation of President Tinubu’s achievements after two years in office.

Northern groups reject narrative
The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) also faulted the designation of Nigeria as a CPC.

National Coordinator, Comrade Jamilu Charanchi, said Trump’s comments were capable of fuelling sectarian tension at a time Nigerians are striving to overcome insecurity and division.

He said available data contradicts Western claims of one-sided religious persecution.

According to him, 9,662 people were killed in violent incidents across Nigeria in 2024, with 86 per cent of deaths recorded in the northern region — 41 per cent in the Northwest, 25.9 per cent in the Northeast, and 19.3 per cent in the Northcentral.

“Let us be clear: there is no genocide against Christians in Nigeria. There is a national security crisis affecting all Nigerians – Muslims, Christians, and others alike,” he said.

Citing data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), he said that between January 2020 and September 2025, over 20,400 civilians were killed in violent attacks across Nigeria.

Of those where religion could be verified, 317 Christian deaths and 417 Muslim deaths were recorded — clear evidence, he said, that both communities are victims.

Charanchi described the “Christian genocide” claim as a strategic deception serving geopolitical interests aimed at destabilising Nigeria and justifying future Western interventions.

He warned that failure to control Nigeria’s narrative and tackle insecurity could destabilise the entire Sahel region.
