US President Donald Trump has continued his attack against Nigeria, describing the most populous black nation on earth as “a disgrace”.
In his latest outburst, Trump, who redesignated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern two weeks ago, described Nigerian government as ineffective.
He said this when he featured on Fox News Radio’s ‘The Brian Kilmeade Show’
“I think Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace. They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide. And I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidy to Nigeria which we’re going to end up stopping.
“The government’s done nothing. They are very ineffective. They’re killing Christians at will. And you know until I got involved in it two weeks ago — nobody even talked about it.”
Trump’s comment comes at a time when President Bola Tinubu sent a high-powered delegation to America to state his administration’s efforts to address widespread insecurity.
The Delegation led by Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser, has met with top officials of Trump’s government, including Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War.
Ribadu’s delegation also met with Congressman Riley Moore, whom Trump directed to investigate the situation in Nigeria and report back to him.
