U.S. lawmaker issues major warning to Tinubu

A member of the United States Congress, Riley Moore, who represents West Virginia’s 2nd congressional district, has issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu, urging him not to “test” U.S. President Donald Trump over reports of attacks on Christians in Nigeria.

Moore’s comments came in response to Trump’s recent statement expressing concern about alleged killings of Christians in the country. The American president had hinted that Washington might consider military intervention if what he described as a “genocide” continues unchecked.

Taking to social media, Moore echoed Trump’s stance, cautioning the Nigerian government against ignoring the situation.

He wrote: “To the Government of Nigeria & @officialABAT: President Trump has provided forewarning if you do not correct the current state of inaction to stop the killing of our brothers and sisters in Christ in your country.

“The days of the US looking the other way are over – it will never happen on @POTUS’ watch.
“I urge you to cooperate with us in preventing this atrocity that worsens everyday. We want your people to live in peace – all of them, especially Christians.
“The President has been clear. I would not test his resolve. Many have tried and all have failed.
“We will not allow the gates of hell to prevail against the faithful.”

Moore’s warning follows rising tensions after Trump’s remarks on Nigeria’s human rights situation, which have sparked global attention and reactions from both U.S. and Nigerian officials.
