Key Points
- Adeboye asks Tinubu for tougher orders on security chiefs. He says sponsors of terror must face swift justice.
- He warns against hope in Russia or China. They may condemn America strongly but avoid any real help.
- Cleric urges talks with the United States for support. Online users debate his stand under viral sermon clips.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye has urged President Bola Tinubu to act fast against rising killings across Nigeria. He told worshippers at the November Holy Ghost Service that sponsors must face justice.
Adeboye also asked the government to seek firm support from the United States when needed. The call follows recent foreign warnings about insecurity, including a Trump threat to Nigeria.
He warned against hope in other global powers during any crisis. “If America attacks us, China is not coming,” he said.
The cleric listed Russia and Britain as unlikely saviours for Nigeria. He said they might issue harsh words but avoid real action.
Call for tougher security steps
Adeboye urged Tinubu to give clear orders to the service chiefs. “Eliminate the terrorists and their sponsors,” he said during the service.
He stressed that influential backers must not get a free pass. In his words, “No matter their status, sponsors should be removed.”
His warning came as debate grows over outside support for Nigeria. Days ago, China warning to Washington stirred fresh talk on foreign roles here.
Adeboye also corrected claims that all displaced people have returned home. He said a recent presidential speech misled the public on that issue.
He told his church that the year would test the nation again. He linked that claim to a 100-day fast he asked members to observe.
Online, users split over his stance under clips of the sermon. Comments from king_zaddyofficial, emekaakupuome, cycin_nati, bhraiyt, and judithoflagos showed mixed views.
Some urged silence on politics, citing past calls to protest. Others asked stronger pushes on leaders while praising his call for justice.
What this means for policy
The message places pressure on the security team to show quick gains. It also frames help from allies as support, not rescue from invasion.
For many families, the demand is plain and urgent today. Stop attacks fast, bring back safety, and hold those who fund violence.
