A Kano State chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Jaffar Bello, has slammed Nigeria’s First Lady, Remi Tinubu for calling for US air strikes on Northern Nigeria.

Speaking in an interview on Trust TV on Friday, Bello said the President’s wife did not call for strikes in the Southeast, where according to him, there is secession agitation.

He was speaking on the US listing of the new bill initiated by the US Congress aimed at increasing accountability for human rights abuses in Nigeria.

The Bill, Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, contains provision for potential sanctions against Fulani militias and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Bello said, “Recently the wife of the President, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was in America and she was calling for more American strikes in the northern.

“She specifically stated the northern part of the country. She didn’t call for strikes in the Southeastern part of the country that are suffering from the IPOB and sit-at-home and issues of separation and killings that are going on.

“Wherever America in the past 20 years has conducted war, it’s in Islamic countries from Somalia to Yemen to Iraq to recently in Iran.”

DSS should invite him to shed more light

Instead of condemning the violence going on in his region, he is angry that the south east wasn't bombed

This man said Remi should have also called for bombing of IPOB

Trust them to ignore that and go after Tinubu.

You just watch

Everybody South East... What concerns her call to South East??

Noted.

It’s not news, he’s a known head slammer.

Sentimental entity

Jihadist ideologist

These Northern people sef, you ain't bother about the insurgency in your region but looking at the Eastern region where their own cause of agitation is well spelt out and acknowledged...

You can't even compare Eastern region to Northern region in all ramifications.....Leg and head no be mate o........

What were you expecting from terrorist sympathizers. He's more concerned his brethren are going to see hello.

The terrorist are showing their faces one by one, thanks to Donald Trump more bombing on the way.

How is he sentimental bros ? Is terrorism not going on in the southeastern states of Nigeria? Why will the first lady call for just only the northern state ?

Stupiid man!

The call for air strikes in the northern part is justified because militants over there have gone on rampage attacking and murdering innocent villagers while taking over swathes of land and extorting money from hapless farmers

None of this is happening in the south east

Leave ours first lady alone, go and repair una rotten rotten party

Everyone always foaming in the mouth about SE. Anybody you talk to, them go turn face the SE. South East is really living rent free in people's head.
You mean to tell me that this man ignored the horror going on in north-the killings, kidnapping, banditry and choose to focus on south east? He ignored bandits and terrorists running amok over there, kidnapping and killing in hundreds and thousands and even taking territories and decided to focus on south east that is experiencing pockets of violence here and there?

If them no add southeast statement never complete, the obsession this people have for igbos should be studied

Must this Northerners politicise everything? Playing politics with insecurity in Northern Nigeria

It seems nairaland owner now work for APC, do you know that Tinubu wife 's call did not reach the front page of this forum, that thread was not brought to the front page

Because you Islamists adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system was one of the reasons Biafra secessionists came up.

The US recently directed that you discard your adoption of sharia criminal laws, but you are still aloof.
But one thing: the US never goes back on its directives.

Let me see what the confused Bayo Onanuga will say since he told Peter Obi they won't forget.

Now Remi Tinubu should know that North won't forget that she called for US Airstrikes to bomb the North.

There's less criminal activities in the SE but the north is now being ravaged by terrorists and bandits , I don't see where this chieftain is condemning these carnages !
