Trump’s Military Threat: Sever diplomatic ties with US – Islamic Clearic, Gumu, tells Tinubu

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi

Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has urged President Bola Tinubu to summon the United States ambassador and demand a retraction of President Donald Trump’s threat of military action in Nigeria, or to cut diplomatic ties if the US refuses.

Gumi described Trump’s comments as a deep insult to Nigeria’s sovereignty.

Posting on Facebook, the cleric said it was “profoundly disrespectful” for a foreign leader to threaten military attack against a sovereign nation and called on the Nigerian government to respond firmly. “President Tinubu should summon the US ambassador; they either retract their threats or we sever diplomatic ties with this irresponsible regime,” he wrote.

Gumi added that Nigeria has other options for economic and military partnerships and should not be beholden to what he called an “irresponsible” administration.

His call follows Trump’s post in which the US president warned of possible military action over alleged attacks on Christians in Nigeria, a claim the Nigerian government has rejected.
