In response to the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs’ demand that US President Donald Trump retract his recent remarks characterizing Nigeria as a disgraced nation, public affairs analyst Dr. Majeed Dahiru called for robust government intervention against the council in an interview.

According to Dahiru, the president’s response was insufficient. He declared, “The president should sit up and stop playing politics with the lives of Nigerians.”

The expert described what he thought the administration ought to have done right away. “By this morning, I should have expected that they should have called in the officials of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs for questioning by security agencies, and that should include the Sultan himself,” Dahiru said.

He emphasized what he described as a message conflict. “The federal government cannot be making conciliatory statements towards the international community, and they are here making provocative statements asking Trump to write a retraction. How do you reconcile that?” the analyst asked.

“They need to be reined in. They need to be cautioned,” he stated.

“I think Sultan should be given a stern warning never to make a statement again on national security. If he doesn’t have anything to say, let him keep his mouth shut through his Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs,” Dahiru said.

Speaking emphatically: “This nonsense must not continue.”
