Reacting to the designation of Nigeria as a Nation of Specific Concern by the US President, Donald Trump, Oladejo mentioned the categorisation is each misplaced and unlucky.
He mentioned, “The redesignation, ostensibly fuelled by what Trump described as ‘genocide in opposition to the Nigerian Christian populace’, is to all intents and functions, a manifestation of the well-known double commonplace of the US in worldwide diplomacy,” including that Trump’s feedback have been laced with ulterior financial and political motives.
“The timing and ferociousness of Trump’s outburst name for critical trigger for concern, as his motive seems to not be altruistic, as he would need the worldwide group to imagine, however laced with ulterior financial and political motives,” he said.
Arguing that Muslims are the biggest victims of insurgency within the nation, Oladejo mentioned, “There may be nothing like genocide in opposition to a specific religion in Nigeria. If there may be something, each main spiritual teams, Christianity and Islam, undergo equally from the unlucky onslaughts of the bandits and insurgents. In actual fact, we are able to even say, with all sense of accountability, that resulting from the truth that many of the locations affected by insurgency are largely populated by Muslims, members of the Islamic religion are the biggest victims of insurgency and banditry. We seek advice from Niger, Kaduna, Adamawa, Borno, Yobe, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, and even Kwara states.”
