Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks threatening military intervention in Nigeria, warning that foreign interference has historically worsened instability across Africa.
What We Know:
- In a social media statement, Sowore described Trump’s threat as “imperialist posturing” and urged Nigerians not to be swayed by foreign rhetoric.
- He argued that U.S.-led interventions in Libya, Somalia, and other nations have led to chaos rather than peace.
- Sowore called for internal democratic reforms, stronger institutions, and grassroots mobilisation to solve Nigeria’s problems.
Quote:
“No foreign military will save Nigeria. What we need is justice, leadership, and a political revolution rooted in truth.”
— Omoyele Sowore
