Trump’s threat: FG urges Nigerians to remain calm

Amid the designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and the threat of a military invasion by the United States of America’s president, Donald Trump, the Federal Government has urged citizens to remain calm.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris made the call on Monday, November 10, while on a courtesy visit to the Governor of Jigawa, Umar Namadi in Dutse, Jigawa State.

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.

According to Idris, it is important for Nigerians to maintain calmness in the face of the diplomatic row between the US and the country.

In a statement issued by Rabiu Ibrahim, the Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister, Idris said Tinubu has the capacity and resources needed to secure the nation.

“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, as such, Nigerians should please remain calm,” Idris said.

Recall that there has been a barrage of outrage from several quarters following the designation of Nigeria as CPC by the US president.

While many citizens support the threat of an invasion, others expressed worry over the narratives championed against the nation by external forces.
