In a fiery video statement that has gone viral across social media platforms, former Niger Delta militant leader Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has issued a stern warning to former US President Donald Trump and the American government.
The controversial figure was responding to recent comments made by Trump about alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria, declaring vehemently that Nigeria is a sovereign nation that needs no foreign intervention in its internal matters.
'We Are Ready for Battle'
Asari-Dokubo's message was uncompromising and confrontational. "Let Trump and America come, we will fight them," he declared with palpable intensity. His words echoed the sentiments of many who believe Western powers should not interfere in Nigeria's domestic affairs.
The former militant leader emphasized that Nigeria has capable citizens who can handle their own problems without external interference. His statement comes amid growing international concern about religious tensions in various parts of the country.
Sovereignty and National Pride
Throughout his emotional address, Asari-Dokubo stressed the importance of national sovereignty. He made it clear that any attempt by foreign powers to intervene under the guise of protecting religious groups would be met with strong resistance.
"We are not a colony of America or any other Western power," he asserted, highlighting the need for Nigerians to solve their own problems without foreign influence.
Background of Tensions
The video statement emerges against the backdrop of increasing international attention on Nigeria's religious dynamics. Various international organizations and foreign politicians have expressed concern about the situation of religious minorities in the country.
Asari-Dokubo, known for his outspoken views on Niger Delta affairs and national politics, has positioned himself as a defender of Nigeria's right to self-determination and non-interference.
The video has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some praising his nationalist stance while others criticize what they see as unnecessary confrontation with international partners.
