It Will Be Wrong To Invade Nigeria Without Approval

 

As pressure mount on Nigeria authorities to put things right except they want invasion from the US military, the Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Tinubu, Bwala, has claimed it would be diplomatically wrong for the United States to carry out any military operation in Nigeria without the agreement with the Nigeria government.

Bwala stated this in an interview with BBC World Service on Monday.


He insisted that Nigeria is a sovereign nation and that any form of foreign intervention in its internal security issues must be collaborative and respectful of its territorial integrity.

Trump threatens to deploy America’s “Department of War” against terrorist groups he claimed were targeting Christians in Nigeria.


“If it’s a joint operation with Nigeria, that’s acceptable,” Bwala said.

“But diplomatically, it is wrong to invade a sovereign nation without collaboration, especially one that remains a strategic partner in the fight against insecurity.


“Unilateral intervention only happens when there is evidence that a government is complicit in a crisis. That is certainly not the case in Nigeria,” Bwala stated.
