Gumi to Trump: Your Military Threat Is an Insult to Nigeria’s Sovereignty

Story: written by Uzuh Rita November 3,2025
Renowned Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has condemned former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments threatening military action in Nigeria, describing the statement as a direct affront to the nation’s sovereignty and dignity.

In a statement shared on his verified Facebook page on Sunday, Gumi criticized the remark as “highly disrespectful” and urged President Bola Tinubu to respond firmly to the provocation.

According to the cleric, the Nigerian government should immediately summon the U.S. ambassador to demand an official apology and withdrawal of the statement. He further suggested that if Washington fails to retract the threat, Nigeria should consider cutting diplomatic ties with the United States.

“For Trump to threaten a sovereign nation with military invasion is an unacceptable insult,” Gumi wrote. “President Tinubu must summon the U.S. ambassador and insist on a retraction — or sever ties with this reckless administration. Nigeria has other options for economic growth and military cooperation.”
