The Chairman of the US House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa, Chris Smith, stated that the designation of Nigeria as a 'Country of Particular Concern' (CPC) was made in good faith.

Smith shared this insight during an interview on the program 'Inside Sources' with Laolu Akande, which was aired on Channels Television and monitored by DAILY POST on Sunday.

The US lawmaker urged President Bola Tinubu to take decisive action against terrorists who are wreaking havoc on lives and property within the nation.

He emphasized that Tinubu's administration should intensify efforts to address the security challenges, asserting that Nigerians deserve a better situation.

“In my opinion, he needs to take action; I won’t delve into the positive and negative aspects of Tinubu’s leadership. The CPC designation was made in good faith.

“And he should act not just for us; he should act for his own people. They deserve more than to turn a blind eye while these events unfold,” he remarked.

Smith also criticized Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, for a statement he made on a major television program, where he claimed that only a few people have been killed. Smith challenged him to speak the truth and take a stand against evil.
