Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, has called for expanded U.S. military intervention against terrorist and bandit groups in northern Nigeria, referring to the Christmas Day airstrikes ordered by President Donald Trump as “quite a blessing.”
In an interview with Fox News during her U.S. trip, Mrs. Tinubu stated, “Nigeria is looking forward to collaboration… We are expecting that there will be more.” Her visit included attending the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, where she was publicly praised by Trump. This positive recognition comes after the Nigerian government reportedly spent millions on Republican lobbyists to repair its image in Washington, following Trump’s sharp criticism of the country in 2025.
In January, President Trump had warned that U.S. airstrikes would continue if attacks on Christians in Nigeria persisted. True to his word, on Christmas Day he announced that American forces had conducted airstrikes against terrorist targets in Nigeria’s northwest marking the first direct U.S. military action in the country. Trump described the operation as “powerful and deadly,” stating it was aimed at groups responsible for the killings of predominantly innocent Christians.
