The US military has created contingency plans—ranging from drone strikes to deploying an aircraft carrier—for potential intervention in Nigeria following President Trump's threat over alleged Christian persecution.

US Senator Tommy Tuberville publicly supported President Trump's threat of military action in Nigeria to protect Christians, marking the first major congressional backing for the potential invasion.

Democratic Congressman Jonathan Jackson strongly opposed President Trump’s potential military intervention in Nigeria, calling it a "dangerous overreach" and arguing peace must come through dialogue, not force.

Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared that Nigeria is resolute in defeating terrorism and will maintain diplomatic engagement despite diplomatic challenges and the US military threat.

Meanwhile, Information Minister Mohammed Idris assured Nigerians that the government remains calm, focused, and committed to protecting all citizens and constitutional freedom of worship despite the external pressures from Trump's threats.

The official reassurance of security management is undermined by the sobering reality that Nigeria ranks number six on the Global Terrorism Index, just above Somalia and Israel.

A viral video showed that Nigerians in diaspora are deeply divided on President Trump’s threat to invade Nigeria, with some supporting potential intervention and others condemning it.

A group in Lagos staged a peaceful protest against the US invasion plans and President Trump's claims of Christian genocide, calling for respect for Nigeria's sovereignty.

Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka described President Trump as a "petty-minded dictator" in a BBC interview, criticizing his treatment of minorities and recounting his own destruction of his green card in 2016.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extended warm congratulations to public intellectual, author, and columnist Dr. Reuben Abati on his 60th birthday and the presentation of his new books.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu also paid tribute to renowned journalist and columnist Olusegun Adeniyi on his 60th birthday, celebrating his significant contributions to media and informed commentary.
