The U.S. Representative for West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, Riley Moore, has warned President Bola Tinubu against “testing” President Donald Trump following Trump’s remarks on the alleged killing of Christians in Nigeria.
We had previously reported that the American president had warned that he could order US military action if the purported genocide continues.
Reacting to the development, Moore called on President Tinubu’s administration not to “test” Trump.
According to Moore, the US will not sit by and watch their “brothers and sisters in Christ” being murdered.
He wrote: “To the Government of Nigeria & @officialABAT: President Trump has provided forewarning if you do not correct the current state of inaction to stop the killing of our brothers and sisters in Christ in your country.
He added, “The days of the US looking the other way are over – it will never happen on @POTUS’ watch. “I urge you to cooperate with us in preventing this atrocity that worsens everyday.”
“We want your people to live in peace – all of them, especially Christians. “The President has been clear. I would not test his resolve. Many have tried and all have failed. “We will not allow the gates of hell to prevail against the faithful,” Moore tweeted.
Before President Trump’s statement, there had been allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria, a claim the government said is fuelled by those seeking to destabilise the country.
However, the Christian Association of Nigeria had supported the claim of an ongoing Christian genocide in Nigeria.
