Pastor Enoch Adeboye tells Tinubu: “Beg Trump for 100 Days ”(Video)

During an address at his church’s annual Holy Ghost Service, Pastor Enoch Adeboye  head of the Redeemed Christian Church of God  urged President Bola Tinubu to approach former U.S. President Donald Trump and seek a “100-day window” to stem what he described as the “daily killings” across Nigeria.

According to a report, Adeboye told the gathering:

“If the United States invades, Russia and China will not defend you.” IntelRegion Media

His message emphasised the urgency of resolving the crisis through diplomacy rather than waiting for external powers to pick sides.

A Call for Diplomatic Action and Internal Reform

Adeboye pointed out that:

“Let the government use diplomatic methods to convince Trump to give us 100 days of grace to call our service chiefs to perform within three months or resign.” Tribune Online

He criticised portions of Tinubu’s October 1 Independence Day speech particularly the claim that displaced persons have returned  as disconnected from the security realities on the ground.

The cleric suggested that foreign powers may not intervene on Nigeria’s side if an international crisis unfolds, which he implied should motivate quicker action domestically.

The backdrop to Adeboye’s message includes rising global attention to Nigeria’s security challenges, particularly reports of targeted attacks on Christians and other vulnerable groups.

Though the situation is complex, with multiple actors and motives, the threat of foreign intervention has become part of the national conversation.

By urging Tinubu to negotiate directly with Donald Trump for 100-day diplomatic space, Adeboye is effectively proposing: stabilise the situation now, or risk international consequences later.

“It is not the time you begin to argue, saying not only Christians alone are being killed, but Muslims are also involved. The fact is that innocent people are dying,” he said in the video.

Pastor Adeboye Recommendations

• Immediate diplomatic engagement: Approach the U.S. for a temporary moratorium on pressure or sanctions while Nigeria takes visible action.

• Service chiefs’ accountability: Implicit in Adeboye’s address is the expectation that the military and security leadership must deliver quickly or face repercussions. He noted his role as adviser but said that the “problem must be solved”.

• Unity across faiths: Though his message highlighted the plight of Christian communities, Adeboye stressed that Nigeria formerly had peaceful co-existence:

“I have families that are Muslims till date… When I was little, I ate sárí with them.”

He framed the current volatility not solely as a religious conflict but as a breakdown of security and leadership.

If Adeboye’s warning rings true, Nigeria faces several contrasting risks: internal unrest; perception of neglecting certain groups; and possible external action by foreign powers citing humanitarian or religious protection as justification.

While a full U.S. invasion remains speculative, the notion that Russia or China would come to Nigeria’s defence is viewed by the cleric as unrealistic and dangerous to assume.

“No student should ever have to trade dignity for a degree,” Adeboye once used as a rallying cry  now, his tone is broader: “If you take no action, you may face a storm you cannot steer.” IntelRegion Media & Tech

For President Tinubu and Nigeria’s leadership, the message is clear: act decisively, diplomatically, and now before the window closes. The clock may just be ticking.
