In a united show of support for Nigeria, the African Union (AU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the European Union (EU) have reaffirmed the country’s sovereignty, rejecting recent claims by the United States alleging religious persecution.
The AU highlighted Nigeria’s right to manage its internal affairs in accordance with its Constitution and international obligations, emphasizing respect for national sovereignty. ECOWAS, meanwhile, dismissed assertions of religious-targeted violence, stressing that insecurity affects all communities in the region without discrimination.
The EU echoed similar sentiments, expressing solidarity with Nigeria and underlining the importance of governance, stability, and peaceful coexistence among its population.
These statements signal strong international backing for Nigeria’s approach to addressing security and social cohesion challenges, reinforcing the country’s position on the global stage.
