Rev. Joseph Hayab, the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria for the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory, claims that Donald Trump’s warning to Nigeria over the murder of Christians was misinterpreted.

Rev. Hayab made this claim on Wednesday during a ZINGTIE-monitored interview on Arise Television.

“Listening to what Trump said, Trump never said he was going to come to fight Nigeria.

“There’s a twisting of all these things. Trump simply said, ‘Go after these terrorists; if you don’t go after them, we can come and go after them.’ So, who is afraid of Trump coming to Nigeria,” Hayab asked.

He claimed that rather than threatening to invade Nigeria, Trump called on the federal government to act decisively against terrorists who target Christians.

The first step toward national reconciliation, according to the preacher, is admitting the existence of violence against Christians.

He asked government representatives to have an open discussion about the situation rather than downplaying the suffering of the victims.

“You can’t tell someone who is a victim, who is in pain, that his cries are not true. Once we stop doing that, then we’ll find a solution. Let’s admit that people came and killed Christians, and they came in the name of religion.

“They came as Islamic fundamentalists. No Christian is saying Muslims had a meeting and asked people to go and kill them, but Christians are saying that fundamentalists, terrorists came in the name of Islam and killed Christians,” he added.

Recall that Trump stated that if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians,” he has directed his war department to get ready for potential military intervention in that country.
