Press Release: Congressman Moore Meets With Delegation of Senior Nigerian Officials Regarding the Persecution of Christians and Terrorism Threat in Nigeria

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Riley M. Moore met with a delegation of senior members of the Nigerian government, led by Mr. Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser to the President of Nigeria, during the delegation’s visit to Washington, D.C. The meeting allowed for a frank, honest, and productive discussion about the ongoing persecution of Christians and ongoing terrorist threats in Nigeria and opportunities for strengthened cooperation and coordination between the United States and Nigeria to end the bloodshed.

During the meeting, Nigerian officials shared their government’s challenges and concerns regarding counterterrorism, security assistance, protection of vulnerable communities, and ongoing issues involving violence across Nigeria.

Congressman Moore clearly stated that the United States stands ready to coordinate and cooperate with Nigeria, and that, as President Trump made abundantly clear, the United States will not tolerate continued violence against Christians or other forms of religious persecution. President Trump does not make idle threats. Congressman Moore will continue monitoring new developments and pushing the Nigerian government to accept the open hand of cooperation to stop the ongoing persecution and violence against Christians and combat the threat terrorist groups pose to the Nigerian population.

Congressman Moore issued the following statement:

“Today, I had a frank, honest, and productive discussion with senior members of the Nigerian government regarding the horrific violence and persecution Christians face and the ongoing threat terrorism poses across Nigeria. I made it crystal clear that the United States must see tangible steps to ensure that Christians are not subject to violence, persecution, displacement, and death simply for believing in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We stand ready to work cooperatively with the Nigerians to help their nation combat the terrorism perpetrated by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants against their population, specifically Christians in the Northeast and Middle Belt regions of Nigeria. The Nigerian government has the chance to strengthen and deepen its relationship with the United States. President Trump and Congress are united and serious in our resolve to end the violence against Christians and disrupt and destroy terrorist groups within Nigeria. I urge the Nigerians to work with us in cooperation and coordination on this critical issue.”

The delegation included:

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu – NSA and Leader of the Delegation
Her Excellency, Bianca Ojukwu - Minister of State for Foreign Affairs
Mr. Kayode Egbetokun - Inspector General of Police
Chief Lateef Olasunkami Fagbemi, SAN - Attorney General of the Federation
General Olufemi Olatunbosun Oluyede - Chief of Defence Staff

The buck still stops at the 'president' (presidiot) table, Who as we all know is monumentally incompetent. So all these is just a waste... American troops should just come and help us. Shikena

Reflect7:
Yes he does.

He also threatened to invade Canada, Mexico, Panama and Greenland...

And has not.

Just as he dare not invade Nigeria if his head is correct.

seunmsg:
America troop is coming nowhere near Nigeria. Since you guys see this as a good opportunity for regime change, Tinubu has outsmarted you guys. He will give Trump what he wants and Trump in turn will give you guys the middle finger.

SeverusSnape:
I talk am na, Your only concern is regime change!. Listen to the tripe you're spewing, We talking defeating terrorists that your army and Air force can't defeat, You're talking regime change. Commot from my front.

We know that’s what you all want to see. Sorry to disappoint you, there won’t be any military intervention in Nigeria. President Tinubu will remain in office till 2031.

Borrow2222:
You think they care about the country?

Nah, they don't at all.

All they care about is politics, nothing else matters to them.

The killing can continue as long as their president is still in power.

You can figure it out from his statement.

seunmsg:
Like I always say, the parts in bold are the crux of the matter. This notwithstanding, I hope this cooperation will truly help in enduring the senseless killings s d kidnapping happening all over the country. Everything must be done to ensure Boko Haram, ISWAP, Fulani criminal herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers are completely wiped off the face of the earth.

Reflect7:
Yes he does.

He also threatened to invade Canada, Mexico, Panama and Greenland...

And has not.

Just as he dare not invade Nigeria if his head is correct.

SeverusSnape:
Let the country burn. We don't care, As long as Tinu poo remains president. We are okay.

Since you guys don’t care about the country, Mr. President should mortgage the resources and interest of the country to Donald Trump. Last last, na the country go suffer.

SeverusSnape:
Let the country burn. We don't care, As long as Tinu poo remains president. We are okay.

Putindbutt:
Tell us how many terrorists the US has defeated?

mascot87:
Which country wants to burn. And when did you start loving the country? Aren't you no longer interested in biafra? That should be your priority because last time I checked, you don't really care if the country burn. You can't come online talking like you care when deep in your heart, you are happy with what is happening.

Bendeco02:
They defeated your Arab master many times and are still dealing with them till today.

Don't worry, your eyes will soon clear. No be by mouth
