Trump: ‘We Welcome Foreign Support If FG Fails To End Killings’ – CUPP
The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, has said it would welcome international assistance if the Federal Government failed to decisively address the ongoing killings by armed groups across the country.
This was stated by the National Secretary of CUPP, Peter Ameh, on Sunday in Abuja in reaction to comments by US President Donald Trump, who recently criticised Nigeria’s security situation.
Ameh emphasised that the coalition condemns all forms of violence irrespective of the victims’ religious, ethnic, or political identity, saying what Nigerians desire is the protection of lives and property.
According to him, the continued attacks on rural communities and the displacement of residents require an urgent and coordinated response from the government.
He said, “Of course, we welcome foreign intervention if the Federal Government fails to end these killings. The violence must cease without delay.
“Displaced persons should be able to return to their homes, those responsible for attacks must be held accountable, and communities must be secured”.
The CUPP National Secretary urged President Tinubu to direct the military and security agencies to intensify operations against terrorists nationwide, adding that the government should deploy all necessary resources and intelligence capabilities to dismantle the networks responsible for the attacks.
He added that if the government fails to act decisively, the coalition would be open to any legitimate international assistance aimed at restoring peace and security.
“Our appeal is for decisive action. If the government does not take the necessary steps, we would welcome any lawful support that helps to end the activities of these armed groups,” he added.
