The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged the Federal Government to move swiftly against terrorists and their sponsors before any possible United States military intervention in Nigeria.
Adeboye gave the charge on Friday night during the November edition of the church’s Holy Ghost Service at the Redemption City, Ogun State.
Reacting to the reported threat by former US President Donald Trump to launch military action over alleged religious persecution in Nigeria, Adeboye said the government must act decisively.
He advised President Bola Tinubu to give the new service chiefs a three-month deadline to wipe out insurgents and their backers.
“This is not the time to trade blames. Our President inherited this problem — it didn’t start with him,” the cleric said.
Adeboye warned that should the US eventually invade, other world powers such as China and Russia would not defend Nigeria.
“They will only talk; they won’t fight for us,” he added.
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform last Friday, alleged that Christians in Nigeria were facing an “existential threat” from extremist groups and vowed that the US “cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening.”
