Adeboye to FG: Eliminate terrorists, sponsors before US military action

Adeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged the Federal Government to immediately eliminate terrorists and their sponsors ahead of the possible United States military action in Nigeria.

Adeboye gave the advice on Friday, during the November Holy Ghost Service while reacting to recent threats issued by US President Donald Trump.

He advised President Bola Tinubu to give the newly appointed service chiefs a three-month ultimatum to wipe out terrorists and their financiers.

He said failure to do this should lead to their resignation.

The cleric said, “This is not the time for apportioning blame. Our President inherited this problem, it started before him.”

Recalling the tenure of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, he said he had once privately advised him to take decisive action when killings in the country became unbearable. However, Buhari did not follow through on the counsel.

He said, “Some of you will remember who called the service chiefs together and said, ‘I give you three months, get rid of all these Boko Haram people or resign. It’s not allowed to tell you who gave him that advice. He ran with that advice, but he didn’t follow it through, because he gave the order as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and the security operatives moved fast.
