United States Senator, Riley Moore has cleared the air on reports alleging that the US is planning to divide Nigeria.
In a statement on Saturday, the lawmaker said though he was
in Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with government
officials, the discussion of dividing the country never came up.
He stated that in all the discussions, the idea of “dividing
the country has not come up in any serious way”.
Moore noted that “efforts to embolden separatists hurt
Christians in Nigeria, especially in the North and Middle Belt.
“A destabilized Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make
Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent.
“I remain committed to working to save the lives of our
brothers and sisters in Christ and for that matter, all Nigerians suffering
from the instability wrought by terrorists throughout Nigeria.
“The US and Nigeria have just entered into a security
cooperation agreement, and that is an important step in tackling the violence
in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between
our great nations.”
