U.S. Lawmaker Blasts Kwankwaso Over Alleged Role in Christian Killings — “You Made Blasphemy Punishable by Death”
A U.S. Congressman, Rep. Riley M. Moore, representing West Virginia’s Second District, has sharply criticized former Kano State Governor and NNPP presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, over his comments denying claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Kwankwaso had earlier reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and Trump’s threat of possible military action, saying that Nigeria’s insecurity crisis is not based on religion, ethnicity, or politics.
However, in a post shared via his official X handle, Rep. Moore accused Kwankwaso of hypocrisy, alleging that his administration introduced Sharia law in Kano State — a law that makes blasphemy punishable by death.
“Governor — do you care to comment on your own complicity in the death of Christians?” Moore wrote.
“You instituted Sharia law. You signed the law that makes so-called blasphemy punishable by death.”
Kwankwaso, who governed Kano State twice, has yet to respond to the U.S. lawmaker’s allegations.
