This follows reports that US President Donald Trump placed Nigeria back on the list of Countries of Particular Concern over alleged genocide against Christians.
In a statement, the group criticized some Christian leaders for allegedly petitioning the US government about religious killings in Nigeria. It dismissed the US decision as misplaced and distorted, insisting the situation in Nigeria had been misrepresented.
The organization claimed certain Christian leaders were responsible for Nigeria’s negative image abroad, accusing the Christian Association of Nigeria of amplifying claims that Christians were being targeted rather than correcting what it called a false narrative.
The group expressed disappointment in the Christian Association of Nigeria’s response, saying it expected the body to act with greater responsibility given its national influence.
It argued that President Tinubu had shown goodwill to Christians through key appointments, noting that over 60 percent of appointments reportedly went to Christians.
The group described the alleged petitions to the US as the mother of all betrayals, accusing those behind them of disloyalty to the President and the nation. It stated that while the US may have its own political motives, some Nigerians were responsible for feeding misleading information to American authorities.
