Abuja – Former federal lawmaker Shehu Sani has vehemently opposed any suggestion of foreign military intervention in Nigeria, insisting the nation’s sovereignty must be respected.
The statement, shared on his social media platform X, was a direct response to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments describing Nigeria as a “disgraced country.”
“My country is not a ‘disgraced country’ and will never be a ‘disgraced country’,” Sani stated. He argued that Nigeria, having never colonized or invaded other nations, does not deserve such a label.
While acknowledging the country’s long-standing security challenges, Sani clarified that Nigeria is open to genuine international support but strictly opposes any form of external military aggression. He called on the Tinubu administration to intensify efforts to secure the nation, describing Nigeria as “the only country we can live in without a visa.”
“As a democrat, I respect the views of those who think otherwise,” Sani added. “But I will never share in the opinion of those who support foreign aggression.”
