Former Kano State governor and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has reacted to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to cut off aid and possibly invade Nigeria over alleged attacks on Christians.
Eko Hot Blog gathered that Trump, in a post shared on his Truth Social platform, accused the Nigerian government of turning a blind eye to the “killing of Christians,” warning that Washington might suspend all assistance and “go in guns blazing” to deal with alleged Islamic extremists in the country.

In a statement released on Sunday, Kwankwaso urged Nigerians to remain calm and united despite concerns stirred by Trump’s remarks, which have drawn global attention.
“Nigeria remains a sovereign nation facing complex security challenges that transcend religion, ethnicity, or politics,” Kwankwaso stated. “This is not a time for panic or division but for collective resilience.”
He stressed that while the country continues to tackle insecurity, any international support must respect Nigeria’s sovereignty and be channeled through diplomacy and collaboration.
Kwankwaso also called on the Federal Government to strengthen diplomatic engagement with Washington and other global partners through special envoys and constructive dialogue.
“What our nation needs from world powers is cooperation — through intelligence sharing, technology, and logistics — not threats that undermine our independence,” he added.
The NNPP leader further cautioned religious, political, and community figures against making divisive comments that could inflame public tension or worsen the situation.
Kwankwaso’s statement comes amid rising global criticism of Nigeria’s handling of religious conflicts, allegations the Federal Government has repeatedly described as misleading and politically motivated.
