US Rep. Riley Moore has said the United States President Donald Trump was absolutely right to defend brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering horrific persecution in the hands of organized Jihadists in Nigeria
Moore added, even martyrdom, for their faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
According to him, China will not dictate America's foreign policy , and US will not be lectured to by a Communist autocracy that recently arrested 30 Christian pastors for their faith and throws ethnic minorities in concentration camps.
Earlier, the People's Republic of China has expressed strong support for Bola Tinubu's led APC federal government administration, while warning against foreign interference in Nigeria's internal affairs, following a recent threat by President Trump.
In Beijing on Tuesday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, stated that China firmly opposes the use of religion or human rights as a pretext to meddle in the domestic affairs of sovereign nations.
"As Nigeria's comprehensive strategic partner, China firmly supports the Nigerian government in leading its people on the development path suited to its national conditions," Mao said.
"China firmly opposes any country using religion and human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, and threatening other countries with sanctions and force," she added.
Her comments were made in response to Trump's recent remarks, which threatened possible military action against Nigeria over alleged persecution of Christians — a claim the Nigerian government has strongly denied.
The U.S. State Department redesignated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) on October 31, citing alleged mass killings of Christians, which sparked diplomatic tension between both nations.
Ning's statement is seen as a show of solidarity with Nigeria as the diplomatic tension between the West African country and the United States intensifies.
Nigerian citizens have suffered deaths in the hands of Boko Haram, ISWAP terrorists, Fulani herdsmen, bandits and many other armed bandits kidnapping for ransoms. Going by the pedigree and capacity of the dreaded Nigerian Army, insurgents of any magnitude may never survive this long without internal political and foreign so support for the terrorists.
It is on records that APC rode to power in 2015 on the pretense electoral promises to end insecurities posted by Boko Haram and hunger in the country but had since been complicated with emergency of many and more terrors group s like Fulani herdsmen, bandits killings and commiting genocidal crimes in many states of the Nigerian federation.
Among the States where killings and displacement are happening include Borno, the epicenter of the Boko Haram/ ISWAP activities, Yobe, Sokoto, Kano, Zamfara, Kastina, Niger, Nasarawa, Plateau, Kaduna and recently Kwara State.
There have been bandits) Fulani herdsmen attacks in a Catholic church in Owo Ondo state and Herdsmen attacks at Igangan in OYo State in the Southwest of the country.
Christians have been the primary targets of the Jihadists in the country and genocide ate been committed in order to take over their lands.
Fir late president Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari in his Fulanistic agenda introduced different bills into the national assembly aimed to give passage of lands to the Fulani herdsmen that have adopted Nigeria as their final and permanent home but failed.
APC government of the country is openly considered a pro Terrorists, Jihadists and banditry one and the government have been negotiating with the criminals who are generally believed to have been brought into the country for the sake of any infavourabke eventuality of the 2015 general elections which eventually enthroned APC administration since then.
