The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take decisive and diplomatic action against Nigeria’s rising insecurity.
Speaking after the November Holy Ghost Service titled “The Eve of Glory,” Pastor Adeboye called on the President to issue a 90-day ultimatum to security chiefs to eliminate terrorist groups or face dismissal.
The respected cleric also appealed to President Tinubu to engage the United States diplomatically following recent comments by U.S. President Donald Trump concerning Nigeria’s security status.
According to him, the Federal Government must act swiftly and wisely to protect innocent lives and restore national peace.
“If I were asked to make suggestions, I would say to our government: move fast, move diplomatically, move wisely. Find a way to convince the President of America to delay his actions for about 100 days.
Then come home and tell our security chiefs to get rid of these terrorists within 90 days or resign,” Pastor Adeboye said.
Adeboye noted that he had previously given similar advice to the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari but lamented that the plan was not sustained.
“There was a president unfortunately, he’s dead now Buhari, who issued such an order. He is not here to tell you who gave him that advice. He acted on it but didn’t follow through. Three months passed and the work was not done,” he explained.
The cleric further emphasised that the Federal Government must expose the sponsors of terrorism in the country, no matter how powerful they are.
“My next advice is that when giving orders to the service chiefs, the President should make it clear that they must not only eliminate the terrorists but also their sponsors, no matter how powerful they are,” Adeboye stated.
He cautioned that if America launches any form of attack against Nigeria, no global power would come to its aid.
“When I say our leaders should move fast, diplomatically, and wisely, it’s because if America attacks us, China, Russia, and other world powers will condemn it strongly but that’s all they’ll do.
Britain won’t come to help us. No foreign power will,” he warned.
Pastor Adeboye stressed that this is not the time for political games or religious division, urging Nigerians to unite in prayer and action.
“This is not the time for jokes, grammar, or arguments. It’s not about Christians or Muslims — innocent people are dying,” he said.
Meanwhile, the cleric’s comments have stirred conversations across the country, with many Nigerians praising his courage for speaking on national security.
Furthermore, Adeboye’s call for urgent and transparent action reflects a growing demand among citizens for accountability and effective leadership in tackling terrorism and restoring peace across all regions.
