Riley M. Moore, a member of the US Congress, has expressed enthusiasm regarding President Donald Trump's designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC).
On Friday, Trump placed Nigeria on a watch list following allegations of massacres against Christians in the nation.
According to DAILY POST, prior to this designation, Moore claimed that over 30 Christians are killed daily by Islamic extremists in Nigeria.
This assertion has been refuted by the presidency, with government officials stating that the security crisis in the country is not based on religious factors.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump declared that the US government will not remain passive while Christians are being murdered in Nigeria.
In response, Moore took to his X handle to praise Trump's decision, calling it a sign of strong leadership and a commitment to safeguarding persecuted Christians.
His post stated, “Thank you, @POTUS, for your exceptional leadership in designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern.
“You have consistently been a champion for Christians worldwide, and I am thankful for the chance to collaborate with you and Chairman Cole (@houseappropsgop) to protect our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being slaughtered by radical Islamists in Nigeria.”
