Monday, November 3, 2025 - The leader of Kwankwasiyya and
former Presidential candidate, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has expressed concern over
recent comments by US President, Donald Trump about Nigeria.
President Donald Trump had described the country as a
country of particular concern.
Kwankwaso who took to his Facebook page on Sunday wrote: “I
have noted with increasing concern the heightened pronouncements on Nigeria by
President Donald Trump. This follows his designation of Nigeria as a ‘country
of particular concern.’”
He stressed that Nigeria remains a sovereign nation facing
security challenges caused by outlaws, not by religion or ethnicity.
“The insecurity we face does not distinguish based on
religious, ethnic, or political beliefs,” he said.
Kwankwaso urged the United States to support Nigeria with
modern technology to fight insecurity instead of issuing threats.
“The United States should assist the Nigerian authorities
with better cutting-edge technology to tackle these problems, rather than
posing a threat that could further polarise our country,” he added.
He also called on the Nigerian government to engage with the
US diplomatically.
“The Nigerian government should also consider appointing
special envoys from its distinguished diplomats to engage the American
government. Additionally, it is necessary to appoint permanent ambassadors to
represent Nigeria’s interests on the international stage,” he said.
Senator Kwankwaso appealed to Nigerians to remain united, saying, “To my fellow countrymen, this is an important moment where we should emphasize unity of belonging over division. God bless Nigeria."
