Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has said that Nigeria should have long been cited as a Country of Concern for its persistent failure to protect its citizens.

In his reaction to Trump’s action, Sowore said at every level, the Nigerian state has failed to safeguard the vulnerable Christians, Muslims, and traditional believers alike.

Children, women, students, workers, and the elderly have all suffered under the weight of corruption and illegitimate leadership.

I recognize the pain of Christian communities in Benue, Plateau, Gombe, and Kaduna who continue to face relentless attacks just as Muslim populations in Katsina, Zamfara, Borno, and Yobe also deserve protection from marauding k!llers.

Across the nation, Nigerians whipped by hunger, poverty, and displacement cry out for safety and dignity.

But let’s be clear: while international attention or foreign designations may bring temporary relief, the real solution lies within in honest, courageous leadership that values human life and justice above politics.

No foreign power can fix what corrupt and careless leaders have broken from within.
Our redemption will come from visionary, accountable, and people-centered leadership — one that protects its citizens, unites its people, and rebuilds this nation from the ground up.
