Trump Not Concerned About Christian Genocide in Nigeria, Focused on Resources – Ex-INEC Commissioner
By: Fabian Apechihin
A former National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Lai Olurode, has cautioned Nigerians against calling for foreign military intervention to address the country’s insecurity, warning that such appeals could have dangerous consequences.
In a statement issued in Osogbo on Sunday, Olurode said recent actions by the United States, particularly its invasion of Venezuela, should serve as a lesson to those urging former U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene in Nigeria over alleged persecution of Christians.
According to him, the seizure of Venezuela’s president, Nicolas Maduro, and control of the country’s oil resources clearly show that America’s primary motivation in foreign interventions is access to energy resources, not humanitarian concerns.
Olurode argued that claims of protecting democracy, human rights, or religious freedom often serve as cover for economic and strategic interests.
“With the invasion of Venezuela and the seizure of its president alongside its oil fields, the ideas of sovereignty, tolerance, and democracy have been rendered meaningless,” he said. “It is now clear that America is neither interested in weapons of mass destruction nor genuinely concerned about claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria. Its main interest is the control of global energy resources.”
He further stated that, unlike many previous American leaders, Trump shows little regard for the sovereignty of other nations.
“President Trump does not respect the right of nations to determine their own paths. The concept of national sovereignty does not feature in his worldview,” Olurode said.
The former INEC commissioner described Trump’s foreign policy approach as a return to global Darwinism, where powerful nations dominate weaker ones.
“He appears determined to drag the world back to the era of survival of the fittest, where the rights of smaller and weaker nations can be trampled upon at will,” he said.
Olurode warned that such an aggressive posture threatens not only developing countries but could eventually endanger even European nations.
“With this kind of behaviour, no country — including those in Europe — can consider itself completely safe in the long run,” he added.
He urged the international community to work collectively to uphold peace, respect for sovereignty, and the right of nations to govern themselves without external pressure.
Olurode also advised Nigerians calling for American intervention to protect Christians or resolve Nigeria’s security problems to rethink their position, stressing that U.S. interests do not align with Nigeria’s wellbeing.
“Those urging America to come to Nigeria under the guise of rescuing Christians or ending internal colonialism should reconsider,” he said, adding that U.S. policies largely serve narrow interests rather than the welfare of Nigerians or even the broader American population.
He concluded by reiterating that the U.S. invasion of Venezuela and the seizure of President Maduro remain unjustifiable, describing the actions as indefensible on any rational grounds.
