On the rumours of foreign intervention over alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria: An open letter

Your Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,

With profound respect and an earnest heart of concern for the peace and unity of our dear nation, I write to you today regarding the disturbing reports and widespread rumors suggesting that U.S. President Donald Trump is allegedly planning an invasion or intervention in Nigeria over claims of a so-called “Christian genocide.”

Whether these claims are factual or fueled by misinformation, they have understandably stirred anxiety among Nigerians across ethnic, religious, and political lines. It is in moments like this — when the soul of a nation feels uncertain — that the voice and wisdom of its leader must rise above the noise.

Mr. President, Nigeria stands at a defining crossroads.
Our national unity, the integrity of our sovereignty, and the trust of our people in government are being tested. The world is watching how we respond — not only to the allegations themselves but also to the divisions such claims may deepen within our borders.

Sir, this is a time for divine wisdom, calm reflection, and courageous leadership. It is not a time for panic, blame, or emotional reaction. I pray that the Almighty God will grant you the wisdom of Solomon, the understanding of Daniel, and the discernment of Joseph — to guide our nation through this sensitive moment with fairness, strength, and compassion.

Your decisions in this season will either restore our unity or widen our divisions. They will either strengthen our global image or cast further doubt upon it. For this reason, I and many other well-meaning Nigerians lift you up in prayer, asking God to help you lead with justice, transparency, and truth.

We pray that you will be surrounded by wise counselors — men and women who speak truth without fear, and who place the interest of Nigeria above all personal or political gain. May your leadership be remembered as one that stood for peace, equity, and the protection of every Nigerian — Christian, Muslim, or otherwise.

As citizens, we commit to supporting the peace and unity of this country through our prayers, words, and actions. May Nigeria never again walk the path of religious or ethnic conflict. May truth overcome propaganda, and may peace reign in our six geopolitical zones and within our borders.

God bless you, Mr. President.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

With sincere respect and continued prayers,
Emperor Imoyosola Adetoro JP
