The Federal Government has urged Nigerians to remain calm in the face of the diplomatic spat between the United States and the country.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, gave the charge when he paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Jigawa, Malam Umar Namadi.
This is contained in a statement on Monday in Abuja by Malam Rabiu Ibrahim, Special Assistant on Media to the minister.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has all it takes to secure Nigeria from destabilizing elements, as well as mend any cracks in our nation’s relationship with our international friends and partners, as such, Nigerians should please remain calm,” said Idris.
The Minister is in Jigawa state to attend the North West 2025 Youth Pally and the Presentation of the Achievements of President Tinubu after two years in office.
His reassurance is coming after President Donald Trump said he had asked the US Department of Defense to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians.”
Recall that Trump had earlier designated Nigeria as “a Country of Particular Concern” by Trump over alleged killings of Christians in the country.
