Andrew Gwaivangmin, head of the Nigeria Evangelical Missions Association, has praised President Donald Trump for his efforts to address violence against Christians in the country. Gwaivangmin stated that the Nigerian Christian community has been dealing with years of targeted attacks, often by extremist groups linked to Boko Haram and other insurgent factions. He emphasized that the recent focus on combating such violence has sparked hope among religious leaders and followers.
The comments by Gwaivangmin came during a press conference organized by the association, where he called for international support to protect religious minorities in Nigeria. Trump’s administration has been actively engaging with African leaders to address security challenges, including those targeting religious communities. Gwaivangmin’s endorsement highlights the growing concern among Nigerian Christians about their safety and the need for global attention to their plight.
