Donald Trump don put mouth. No more Muslim/Muslim ticket.
@chineduokoli_
Muslim-Muslim ticket emboldened the terrorists. The inability of Tinubu to make a law to curtail these people still amazes me

Replying to @SecRubio and @POTUS
Thank you so much, Sec Rubio. Removing the Muslim-Muslim junta that stole the election in 2023 is the first step to stopping the genocide. We simply request that you support us come 2027 in stopping them from repeating the treason they committed in 2023 to take power. Thank you.

The Muslim-Muslim ticket made it very difficult and impossible for Tinubu's regime to deny this Christian genocide. Reno Omokri, Bwala, FFK, some horrible Christian leaders, shame on you all for downplaying this regime's Christian genocide.
@Nwabunwagu
See what the Muslim/Muslim ticket and Islamic ideology have landed us into. Stop killing people in the name of Allah, you say no, now see it.

Keep deceiving yourselves. Nobody will believe a government of Muslim Muslim ticket that rigged its way to power against our norms. @POTUS had already started wielding the axe with the revocation of the visa of a professor of cultism and gbajue.

This failed Coup against Tinubu was unsuccessful because it lacked Federal Character, no southerner, no Christian; in fact, it’s a Muslim /Muslim coup. “I go lie for you!” Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb.

Tinubu's aide links Christian genocide claim to Gaza
Recall that the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, reacted to the allegation of Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Bwala said the allegation of the killing of Christians in Nigeria is linked to the condemnation of Israel's war in Gaza.
The presidential aide said the politically motivated allegation is to undermine Nigeria’s progress under the Tinubu administration.
Alleged killings of Christians under Tinubu's govt
In a previous story, Legit.ng reported that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned what it described as a wave of misinformation regarding alleged targeted killings of Christians in Nigeria.
The ministry warned that such narratives are designed to mislead the United States (US) into designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) based on religious persecution claims.
In a statement issued on Friday, March 14, the Nigerian government reaffirmed its commitment to national security.
