 ‘Country Of Particular Concern’: Trump’s Claim Baseless — Shehu Sani


Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has criticized the decision of U.S. President Donald Trump to label Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” over alleged persecution of Christians, describing the claim as unfounded and misleading.


In a post shared on his X handle on Saturday, Sani said Trump’s conclusion was based on “outright falsehoods” fed to him by “anarchists, lackeys, and apprentices of neocolonialism” who aim to create division and discord within Nigeria.


Trump, through his Truth Social platform on Friday, had announced Nigeria’s designation, alleging that Christianity faced an “existential threat” in the country.


“Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter,” Trump wrote, adding that the U.S. was ready to “save Christians” in Nigeria and elsewhere.


Responding, Sani dismissed the allegations as “misinformation and propaganda,” stressing that insecurity in Nigeria was not religiously motivated.


“This designation is built on complete falsehoods and misinformation. Terrorists and bandits in Nigeria attack and abduct people regardless of their religion. The records over the past 15 years speak for themselves,” he stated.


Sani further argued that Nigeria’s balanced religious demography makes systemic persecution of one faith by another impossible.


“Given the Muslim-Christian ratio in Nigeria, it is practically impossible for one religion to persecute the other. Nigeria is a Lion-and-Tiger situation, not Lion-and-Zebra,” he said.


He also accused those influencing Trump’s position of exploiting Nigeria’s complex social fabric for personal gain.


“Trump was misled by anarchists and neocolonial lackeys who seek to profit from division and discontent,” Sani said, warning that “this particular weapon raised against our country shall never prosper.”


The former senator urged the international community to support Nigeria’s fight against terrorism with genuine assistance rather than amplify false narratives.


“Like every other nation confronting terrorism, Nigeria needs sincere support to address its security challenges,” he added.
