Alleged Christian Genocide: Ndume says Trump is ignorant
“For Trump to have come out to make such a claim is out of ignorance. Donald Trump himself is ignorant about what is happening in Nigeria.”
As reported by Daily Trust, Ndume stated this while reacting during an interview on ARISE Television on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
Ndume said the violence ravaging parts of the country has continued to affect Nigerians of all faiths and backgrounds.
The senator representing Borno South Senatorial District said the violence must be addressed as a national — not religious — issue.
“This is not to say Christians are not being killed. What we’ve been saying is that it’s not only Christians — Muslims are also being killed too.”
Senator urged the U.S. government to reconsider its classification of Nigeria as a CPC.
He recalled that Nigeria was previously removed from the list during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration after engagements with the U.S. government to clarify the nature of the insurgency.
