United States Congressman, Riley Moore, has said has said any effort to embolden separatists calling for division of Nigeria will hurts Christians in the North and Middle Belt part of the country.
“A destabilized Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent,” Congressman Moore said in a statement published on his X handle on Saturday while rejecting calls to support the division of Nigeria separate entities.
Mooley noted that he has traveled to Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with Nigerian officials, the Church, aid groups across the country, and IDPs, to get a better understanding of the rampant persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
But More said diving the Nigeria has never been a serious part of the discussions during the engagements.
Rather than encouraging separatists, Moore affirmed his commitment to working to end attacks on Christians and Nigerians generally by terrorists within the framework of the recent US and Nigeria security cooperation agreement.
The U.S. Congressman said the US-Nigeria security cooperation agreement is an important step in tackling the violence in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
He said, “In my discussions, the idea of dividing the country has not come up in any serious way. Efforts to embolden separatists hurts Christians in Nigeria – especially in the North and Middle Belt.
“A destabilized Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent.
“I remain committed to working to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ – and for that matter, all Nigerians – suffering from the instability wrought by terrorists throughout Nigeria.
“The US and Nigeria have just entered into a security cooperation agreement, and that is an important step in tackling the violence in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between our great nations,” he said in the statement.
God bless you all.
