Former SGF Backs Trump, Says Americans Have Right To Defend Nigerian Christians

A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has said American Christians have a legitimate right to defend Nigerian Christians if they believe they are facing persecution.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Monday, Lawal argued that such intervention aligns with Biblical principles of Christian solidarity and should not be condemned.

He was reacting to allegations by the United States government about attacks on Christians in Nigeria and US President Donald Trump’s warning of possible military action.

According to him, the Nigerian government must take responsibility for securing citizens and guaranteeing their welfare, adding that failure to do so leaves room for affected groups to seek help elsewhere.

“The government should assure us they can give us the peace and prosperity we desire. If they are unable to do that, they cannot blame any part of society that decides to seek help from anywhere,” he said.

Lawal noted that defending fellow believers is rooted in Christian teachings, stressing that the concept of “Christian brotherhood” places a duty on believers to protect one another, regardless of nationality or ethnicity.

“In the Bible, we are taught to be our brothers’ keepers. If American Christians decide to come to the aid of Nigerian Christians because they are in distress, that is Biblical. They are within their right to do so if Christians feel they are unable to defend themselves,” he added.
