The Country Director of Linkway Outreach Africa, Pastor Daniel Adejoh, has urged Nigerians to see United States President, Donald Trump’s recent comments on alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria as a call for unity, rather than an opportunity to assign blame.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Adejoh emphasized the importance of valuing human life.
“This is not the time to trade blame. Life is sacred and should never be taken arbitrarily under any guise,” he said, noting that killing is prohibited under both international treaties and Nigerian law.
He acknowledged that violent attacks have occurred in various parts of Nigeria for decades despite efforts by successive administrations to curb them.
LOA continues to provide social services across communities while encouraging the government to intensify efforts to protect citizens, regardless of religious or political differences.
Adejoh also urged the federal government to use the current global attention as an opportunity to strengthen foreign policy and deepen cooperation with advanced democracies in tackling terrorism.
“In reality, terrorism is ravaging several nations. Nigeria must work with other countries to wipe out terrorists and criminal elements responsible for killings within our borders,” he said, adding that no nation can defeat terrorism alone because of its cross-border nature.
He further called on the government to engage the United States more constructively for support in addressing security challenges and commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing new Service Chiefs and directing them to intensify action against criminality nationwide.
