Pastor Adeboye Tells Tinubu To Pressure Trump, Warns Security Chiefs: “Fix Terrorists Or Resign”

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has weighed in on U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threats of military action in Nigeria.

In a video recorded during a recent church program, Adeboye appealed to President Bola Tinubu’s administration to approach the matter with speed, diplomacy, and careful judgment.

“My children, if I were asked to make suggestions, I will say quietly to our government, move fast, move diplomatically, move wisely. Find a way to convince the president of America to please delay his actions for about 100 days,” Adeboye said.

He also urged that Nigeria’s security agencies be held accountable, advising: “Then come home and say to our security chiefs: get rid of these terrorists within 90 days, or resign.”

The call comes after Trump designated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” and threatened military intervention, citing what he described as ongoing attacks on Christians and the government’s failure to protect religious minorities.

The Nigerian government, however, has strongly denied any persecution of religious groups, emphasizing that the country faces security challenges but no targeted religious violence.
