The Federal Government has sent a message to Nigerians over the military strike threat by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Naijaonpoint reports that Trump had vowed to carry out a military strike in Nigeria over alleged Christian genocide.

The American President warned the Nigerian government to address the situation or face dire consequences.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has, however, urged the citizenry to remain calm in the face of the ongoing diplomatic spat.

He made the appeal in Dutse, Jigawa State, during a courtesy visit to the Governor of Jigawa, His Excellency Malam Umar A. Namadi.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has all it takes to secure Nigeria from destabilising elements, as well as mend any cracks in our nation’s relationship with our international friends and partners. Nigerians should, therefore, remain calm,” Idris stated.

The minister is in Jigawa State to attend the North West 2025 Youth Parley and the Presentation of the Achievements of President Tinubu after two years in office.

Tension has been on the rise in Nigeria following President Trump’s threat to “wipe out jihadist groups killing Christians in the country.”

Various interpretations have emerged from the American leader’s warning to Nigerian authorities, causing unnecessary panic among citizens.
