US Displeased Over Nigeria’s Rejection Of Military Base, Not Christian Killings — CSO Alleges
A civil society organisation, Grassroot Advocacy for Peace and Good Governance, has claimed that the recent threats from U.S. President Donald Trump were not about alleged religious persecution but rather a reaction to Nigeria’s refusal to approve a U.S. military base and deportee resettlement deal.
Addressing journalists in Birnin Kebbi, the group’s chairman travis scott air jordan 1 retro low og black olive release date fall 2024, Usman Muhammed Anache, alleged that Washington had been pressuring Abuja to allow the establishment of a U.S. military base following the withdrawal of American forces from Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso.
According to him, Nigeria’s decision to decline the proposal, coupled with its recent alignment with BRICS, the economic bloc led by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, may have further strained relations between the two countries.
“The U.S. is displeased because Nigeria refused its request to set up a military base and to house American deportees. They have now resorted to using religion, knowing how sensitive Nigerians are to faith-related issues,” Anache said.

Anache further praised the Federal Government for what he described as its steadfastness off white air jordan 1 canary yellow sample release date info in defending Nigeria’s sovereignty and promoting peace across West Africa.
“The divisive tactic of using religion to destabilize Nigeria will never succeed. This has been their plan since independence, but Nigeria has always stood united,” he added yeezy v2 olive legit check on facebook free online , Adidas' New Cozy Adiclog Slides Are Made In Italy , OnlinenevadaShops°.
