Eliminate terrorists, sponsors before US military action, Adeboye tells FG

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged the Federal Government to immediately eliminate terrorists and their sponsors ahead of the possible United States military action in Nigeria.

Adeboye gave the advice on Friday, during the November Holy Ghost Service while reacting to recent threats issued by US President Donald Trump.

He advised President Bola Tinubu to give the newly appointed service chiefs a three-month ultimatum to wipe out terrorists and their financiers.

“This is not the time for apportioning blame. Our President inherited this problem — it started before him,” he said.

Adeboye cautioned that if the US eventually invades Nigeria, China, Russia, and other world powers would not come to the country’s defence.

They would only talk,” he warned.

The warning followed comments by Trump, who declared on his Truth Social platform last Friday that Christianity in Nigeria was facing an “existential threat” from radical Islamist groups.

He added that the United States “cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening,” pledging that his administration would be “ready, willing and able to protect our great Christian population around the world.”

Trump also urged members of Congress to investigate the situation, directing Congressman Riley Moore, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole and others to report back to him.
