Dear @NigeriaGov
Protecting the lives and property of citizens is not a favor, it is your constitutional responsibility. Innocent people are being killed every day by terrorist groups across Nigeria.
Do your duty. End this violence and protect the people.
Kwankwaso’s ONLY crime against the Republicans is his patriotic condemnation of Trump’s threats to attack his country. If you are looking for the opposite of a religious extremist, Kwankwaso is one.
Kwankwaso lost election in 2003 because of his reluctance to implement Sharia in Kano. His implementation was seen as hapharzard by the fanatics, who promoted Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau’s candidacy.
When Shekarau defeated Kwankwaso, he re-implemented Sharia in Kano, recruited thousands of Hisbah personnel and re-kitted them towards full implementation of Shariah.
If implementation of Sharia in Nigeria were a crime, a former governor of Zamfara, Ahmed Sani Yarima, should not only appear in the list, but top the list.
Our brave Armed Forces are prepared—with their fingers on the trigger—to immediately and powerfully respond to ANY aggression against our beloved land, air, and sea.
The valuable lessons learned from the 12-Day War have enabled us to respond even more strongly, rapidly, and profoundly.
At the same time, Iran has always welcomed a mutually beneficial, fair and equitable NUCLEAR DEAL—on equal footing, and free from coercion, threats, and intimidation—which ensures Iran's rights to PEACEFUL nuclear technology, and guarantees NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
Such weapons have no place in our security calculations and we have NEVER sought to acquire them.
If Trump does anything to provoke Iran into striking Israel and blocking the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices would surge overnight and shake up the bond markets, a scenario Trump can’t risk in a mid-term election year. Trump is not prepared for even one body bag. And Iran knows it.
If the US attacks, Iran says it will respond with “all-out war,” deploy hypersonic missiles Day One. Largely depleted during the 12-day war in June, Israel's air defense interceptor missiles have not been adequately restored.
More than twice the size of Texas, Iran is not susceptible to a “smash and grab” Venezuela-style kidnapping. (Cover of US and Israel intel agents inside Iran has been exposed.) Along with hypersonic missiles, dispersed in underground silos across the country, Iran has 30 mini-submarines and 300 speed boats equipped with anti-ship missiles and torpedoes.
To Iran, the current threat is a continuation of the 12-day war. This time, however, there will be no temporary ceasefire, no “back channel” negotiations with the US. Iran’s response will be existential - full scale – and will be joined by a supporting regional "Shia Jihad."
Jagaban, your death is not today, not tomorrow, not even the day after. There will always be tomorrow as you continue to rule this country till 2031.
