Senator Orji Kalu Backs Trump’s Statement on Killings in Nigeria, Calls for Urgent National Action
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (APC, Abia North), Chairman of the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission (SEDC), has supported former U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments on the killings in Nigeria, describing them as “factual and deeply concerning.”
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, Kalu said the scale of violence across the country demands urgent and coordinated action from all levels of government, dismissing claims that such reports were exaggerated or biased.
“Nigerians are being killed, whether they are Christians or Muslims,” he stated. “The violence affects everyone, and it’s time to act decisively.”
The senator identified extremist and militant groups as major perpetrators of the violence, warning that their growing influence threatens Nigeria’s national stability and unity.
He urged the Federal Government and security agencies to intensify intelligence-driven operations and adopt strong legal and administrative measures—including sanctions, blacklisting, and targeted crackdowns—to disrupt extremist networks and stop militants from exploiting local grievances.
While acknowledging international concern over the crisis, Kalu stressed that security remains Nigeria’s responsibility, adding that foreign warnings should inspire domestic resolve.
“External partners can advise, but it’s up to us as Nigerians to restore peace and protect our people,” he said.
Kalu called for unity across religious and ethnic lines, emphasizing that lasting peace will come only when Nigerians stand together against those sowing division and bloodshed.
