Ex-Councilors Demand Expulsion of U.S. Ambassador Over Alleged Genocide Claims
The National Forum of Ex-Councilors in Nigeria has called for the immediate expulsion of the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, accusing him of complicity in what they described as a conspiracy against the country following allegations of genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
Speaking at a press conference in Kaduna on Monday, the National President of the Forum, Ambassador Hon. Auwal Hassan Kasim, dismissed the U.S. government’s claims of genocide and described the move as a calculated attempt to destabilize Nigeria.
Kasim, who was flanked by several Christian members of the association, alleged that the United States was attempting to sow discord and recreate in Nigeria the kind of chaos seen in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya through “subtle and deceptive means.”
He accused American officials and their embassy in Abuja of misleading former U.S. President Donald Trump with false information about Nigeria’s security challenges, instead of presenting him with accurate facts and figures.
“It is absurd and mischievous for anyone to believe that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, would permit any form of religious persecution against Christians,” Kasim said.
The forum’s president added that both Christians and Muslims have coexisted peacefully in Nigeria for decades without foreign interference and accused Trump of harboring personal grudges against President Tinubu.
According to him, the alleged rift stems from Tinubu’s refusal to accept deported Venezuelans, Mexicans, and other South American migrants into Nigeria, despite the financial incentives attached to the proposal.
Kasim concluded by urging Nigerians to unite in support of President Tinubu’s administration and to resist any foreign attempts to undermine the nation’s peace and sovereignty.
