The BOOT Party condemns in the strongest terms the recent statement by United States President Donald Trump threatening military action against Nigeria. Such language is an unacceptable attack on Nigeria's sovereignty and an affront to the principles of international law and diplomatic respect.
We reject any attempt to dress Nigeria's security challenges exclusively in religious terms. Doing so risks inflaming tensions, misdirecting international responses, and harming ordinary Nigerians who suffer most from violence and instability. What Nigeria requires from partner nations is constructive support: help to strengthen institutions, secure communities, prosecute criminals, and convert our natural wealth into sustainable development for the Nigerian people.
It is deeply troubling for a country that presents itself as a champion of democracy to threaten force against a constitutional democratic government. Historical memory of slavery and colonial subjugation remains raw; talk of "reslaving" or foreign military intervention reopens those wounds and is wholly unacceptable.
We call on political leaders, civil society, religious authorities, and all people of conscience in Nigeria to unite around a new national project: build stronger institutions, defend our territorial integrity, cultivate our human and natural resources for public benefit, and ensure no generation is left vulnerable to external coercion.
Nigeria has long needed deep, honest reform. Decades of underinvestment, corruption, and mismanagement have stunted our growth and made parts of the country vulnerable to criminal and extremist exploitation. But insecurity is a complex problem driven by resource competition, local grievances, criminal networks, and external interference — not a single religious narrative.
To the United States and the international community we say: respect Nigeria's sovereignty; offer partnership not ultimatums; and join hands with Nigerians to address insecurity through law, development, and diplomacy.
We invoke the memory of our forebears who suffered the horrors of slavery. Nigeria must be strengthened politically, economically and morally so that no foreign power — however "superior" it claims to be — can ever consign our people to humiliation or subjugation. We reject any return to such a fate.
We say #NoToReSlavery.
Yours sincerely,
Sonny Adenuga
