The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has appealed to Donald Trump, President of the United States, to slash the supply of guns and ammunition entering Nigeria.

Speaking in response to what he described as Trump’s war threat against Nigeria, Tanko insisted that Nigeria does not produce guns, adding that the weapons fueling conflict in the country must be coming from foreign suppliers.

Tanko’s remarks come amid rising tensions and fears over escalating violence across parts of Nigeria.

In the same interview with European Parliament TV, Tanko assured listeners that the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, stands out as a unifier.

He described Obi as someone concerned about both Muslims and Christians.

Tanko said, “Whether you are a Muslim or a Christian, as long as you are a Nigerian, Peter Obi wants to protect your interests.

“He represents the unification that Nigerians are looking for. He never deviates based on whether you are a Northerner or a Southerner.

“That is what we need in Nigeria: a pious leader who can change the narrative of our country.

“Peter Obi is concerned about all Nigerians, both Muslims and Christians alike. Northerners or Southerners do not produce guns or bullets; somebody must be importing them.

“So anybody who wants to help Nigeria should cut the supply, and Nigeria will be at peace.

“Peter Obi is saying everybody is concerned; let’s stop the killing, as every life matters, whether you are a Muslim or a Christian.

“If you want to help Nigeria, cut the supply of guns and ammunition and stop the killing.”
