The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has criticized the Nigerian government in light of the United States military airstrike on terrorists in Sokoto State.

Amadi stated that the US military airstrike in Sokoto reflects the decline Nigeria has experienced by 2025.

The US conducted a military operation against terrorist groups in Sokoto State, Nigeria, on Christmas Day.

This strike was authorized by former US President Donald Trump, who described it as a significant operation against ISIS members.

Trump elaborated that the mission aimed to halt the killings of Christians in Northern Nigeria and to prevent what he termed widespread violence against them.

In response, Amadi characterized the US military attack as a historic first for Nigeria.

In a post on X, he stated: “Let us not forget the implications of this: for the first time in history, a foreign nation will bomb Nigeria to assist our government in combating terrorists within our borders.

“In 2014, we did not reach this level of desperation. By 2025, we are at this point. Nigeria, how much further do you intend to fall? It is time for change.”
