The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has called on President Bola Tinubu to tackle Nigeria’s worsening insecurity with a renewed sense of urgency, accountability, and diplomacy.

Adeboye made the appeal during the November Holy Ghost Service of the church, themed “The Eve of Glory,” held at the Redemption City. His comments come amid growing international concern over insecurity in Nigeria, particularly following recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, who warned of possible military action over alleged attacks on Christians.

The revered cleric urged President Tinubu to issue a 90-day ultimatum to all service chiefs to defeat terrorists and insurgents or face immediate dismissal.

He also advised the government to open diplomatic talks with President Trump, seeking a 100-day grace period before any foreign intervention, saying the time should be used to completely eradicate terrorism in the country.

“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,” Adeboye stated.

Recalling a similar warning he gave to the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, Adeboye lamented that while some progress was recorded, the momentum was lost and the country slid back into violence.

He also urged President Tinubu to expose and prosecute the sponsors of terrorism, regardless of their social or political standing.

“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,” he said.

Adeboye cautioned against complacency, warning that Nigeria could not rely on any foreign power for defense if conflict escalates.

“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.

He concluded by stressing that the crisis should not be reduced to a religious divide.

“This is not the time for jokes, grammar, or arguments. It’s not about Christians or Muslims — innocent people are dying,” Adeboye said.
