I am thankful to see that Nigeria’s House of Representatives passed this important policy that I’ve been calling for since@POTUSfirst asked me to investigate the genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
In fact, I raised this idea directly with Nigeria’s First Lady during her visit to Washington and have done so repeatedly with every Nigerian delegation I’ve met with.
Ensuring states can protect their own citizens is a critical step toward ending the persecution of Christians and the overall instability in the Nigeria.
President Tinubu deserves credit for supporting this legislation and urging its passage through Nigeria’s parliament, and I hope to see him continue pushing on this issue.
There’s still a ways to go before state level police forces will be in place, but this is a sign that all our hard work is paying off.
