Nigeria’s House of Reps Clashes Over Motion Challenging Trump’s Claim on Religious Killings
A heated debate broke out in the Nigerian House of Representatives after Hon. Olamijuwonlo Ayodeji Alao-Akala moved a motion to counter what he called “misleading international narratives on religious killings” in Nigeria. The motion came in response to recent comments by former U.S. President Donald Trump labeling Nigeria a “country of particular concern” over alleged religious persecution.
The motion sparked loud disagreements among lawmakers, with accusations of politicizing the issue. Despite calls for calm from Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, the uproar continued, forcing the House into a closed-door executive session and ordering journalists out of the chamber.
Trump’s statement has already drawn backlash from Nigerian leaders who described it as unwarranted interference in the country’s internal affairs.
