Former presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad says those who campaigned for the designation of Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns have landed the country in a mess.

DAILY POST reports that the US President, Donald Trump’s government on Friday redesignated Nigeria as a CPC over allegations of genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

There has been a serious conversation on the alleged Christian massacre in the country as two lawmakers and other officials in the US insisted that about 7,000 have been killed this year alone.

The Nigerian government had since dismissed the claim, stating that the security crisis targets no religion.

However, in a statement on social Media, on Friday, Trump said Christianity in Nigeria was facing an existential threat.

Reacting to the designation, Bashir in a post on X, accused some Nigerian pastors of colluding with the US officials, who earlier called for the designation of Nigeria.

He wrote, “Finally, some of our own countrymen, with the help of certain U.S. officials, have landed us in this mess.

“Nigeria has almost solely relied on the United States in its fight against terrorism, purchasing the majority of our sophisticated weapons from them.

“Now, with the new sanctions, how are we supposed to effectively confront the very same terrorists committing these atrocities?”
