Pastor Prof Ojo Emmanuel Ademola, General Evangelist, Christ Apostolic Church CAC Niger
By OLUWATOBI ADELEKE, London
The General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor (Prof.) Ojo Emmanuel Ademola, has extended a warm and prophetic welcome to President Donald J. Trump's renewed concern for Nigeria's security and the persecution of Christians, urging for strategic partnership founded on respect rather than threats.
In a press release shared on his verified Facebook page, Pastor Ademola acknowledged President Trump's deep interest in Nigeria's wellbeing, describing him as "a unique gift to global peace." He noted that Trump's leadership has continually challenged nations to confront injustice and defend liberty.
"President Trump, help Nigeria," Pastor Ademola appealed. "But help us in a way that honours our sovereignty and strengthens our government. The Nigerian leadership is doing its utmost to address inherited economic and security burdens. What we need is strategic support—not threats of military action."
As a renowned cybersecurity expert and national mobiliser, Pastor Ademola emphasised that he fully understands the complexity of global security dynamics. Drawing from his expertise, he encouraged international cooperation rooted in intelligence collaboration, humanitarian aid, and diplomatic engagement.
"Let your concern be channelled through humanitarian aid, intelligence cooperation, and diplomatic engagement," he wrote. "Let your legacy in Africa be one of empowerment, not imposition. Let your voice uplift our efforts, not overshadow them."
Pastor Ademola further stressed the need for unity of purpose between prophetic and political leadership to restore peace and dignity to Nigeria's troubled regions.
"Together, we can restore peace to Nigeria's troubled regions," he declared. "Together, we can affirm the dignity of every Nigerian life. And together, we can prove that prophetic leadership and presidential authority can unite for global good."
Concluding the statement, he offered prayers for wisdom and divine guidance for both President Trump and the Nigerian government.
"May God guide your leadership with wisdom. May Nigeria rise with strength, unity, and divine protection," he said.
Pastor (Prof.) Ojo Emmanuel Ademola remains a respected voice in both faith and governance—combining spiritual insight with strategic expertise in technology, national development, and global security.
