United States Congressman Riley Moore has advised the Federal Government to work with the US to address the insecurity situation in the country.
Moore stated this on Thursday at the US House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa, which is investigating Trump’s redesignation of Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ (CPC).
According to him, the Nigerian people no longer trust the government due to its failure to respond when needed.
He said, “The Nigerian people don’t trust their government. ‘How can you trust a government that doesn’t show up when you ask them to?
“The Nigerian government must work with the US in cooperation to address these insecurity issues.
“A case that just happened recently in Plateau state. We had a pastor there who warned the Nigerian government that they were under attack. There’s an imminent attack force here in the next 24 hours. Please come and help us.
“The Nigerian government did not only ignore it but put up a press release that it is fake news.”
Bellnews reports that Moore will be meeting with a delegation of senior members of the Nigerian government to discuss the devastating insecurity in Nigeria and the US designation of the country as a CPC.
