BREAKING: China warns U.S. against interfering in Nigeria’s internal affairs
China has cautioned against any form of interference in Nigeria’s internal affairs following a threat by former U.S. President Donald Trump to launch military action over alleged persecution of Christians.
Speaking during a press conference on Tuesday, Mao Ning, spokesperson of China’s foreign ministry, said Beijing firmly supports President Bola Tinubu’s administration as it continues to steer Nigeria along its chosen path of national development.
“As Nigeria’s comprehensive strategic partner, China firmly opposes any country using religion and human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, and threatening other countries with sanctions and force,” Ning said.
The comment came in response to a question about Trump’s recent remarks in which he threatened to take military action against Nigeria, accusing its government of allowing the killing of Christians.
Very Nigerian reported on Saturday that, Trump asked the US Department of War to prepare for “possible action” in Nigeria.
Trump warned the Nigerian government to act fast to end the “killing of Christians” in the country and described Nigeria as a “disgraced country.”
“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing’, to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” the US leader said.
“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action.”
“If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!”
