Afenifere Faction Backs Trump, Hails US–Nigeria Christmas Day Airstrikes On ISIS Terrorists In Sokoto
A faction of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has thrown its weight behind former US President Donald Trump and the United States military over the Christmas Day airstrikes carried out against ISIS-linked terrorists in North-West Nigeria. In a statement signed by its Organising Secretary, Kole Omololu, the group described the joint US–Nigerian military operation in Sokoto as timely and necessary, arguing that years of insecurity and ineffective governance justified foreign assistance. Afenifere said true sovereignty lies in the ability of a government to protect its citizens and urged Nigerians to support, rather than criticise, the counter-terrorism operation. The endorsement followed confirmations by both the Nigerian government and Defence Headquarters that the strikes were approved and marked one of the most significant US military interventions on Nigerian soil in the fight against terrorism.
