U.S. Representative Riley Moore has issued a stern warning to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, urging immediate action to stop the killing of Christians in Nigeria and echoing President Donald Trump’s recent threat of military intervention.
“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,” Moore wrote in a post on X. “The days of the US looking the other way are over — it will never happen on @POTUS’ watch.”
Moore emphasized the urgency of cooperation, stating, “We want your people to live in peace all of them, especially Christians.” He added, “The President has been clear. I would not test his resolve. Many have tried and all have failed.”
In a final declaration, Moore invoked religious imagery: “We will not allow the gates of hell to prevail against the faithful.”
The statement follows Trump’s earlier post threatening to halt U.S. aid and prepare for military action if Nigeria fails to protect its Christian population. Nigerian authorities have denied accusations of religious persecution, insisting the country upholds constitutional freedoms.
