During the event, President Trump extended a warm welcome to Senator Tinubu, acknowledging her influence and her role as a pastor in one of Nigeria’s largest denominations. “We are honored to be joined today by the First Lady of Nigeria, who also happens to serve as a Christian pastor at the largest church in Nigeria, a very respected woman… it’s a great honor. Thank you very much,” Trump stated.
Responding to the development, Kadzai described the recognition as a significant honor for Nigeria. He noted that the First Lady’s presence at the prayer meeting serves as a testament to her standing as a leader of faith and a representative of the nation’s values.
A Symbol of Unity and Tolerance
Kadzai emphasized that the First Lady’s lifestyle serves as a blueprint for religious tolerance within Nigeria. He pointed to her long-standing peaceful coexistence with her husband, President Bola Tinubu, a Muslim, as a powerful example for the country.
Pillar of Stability: Kadzai referred to her as a “symbol of unity,” suggesting her influence is reflected in the inclusive nature of the current administration’s appointments.
Crisis Response: The COCGOG leader praised her proactive approach to national tragedies, noting her personal visits to states like Plateau and Benue following outbreaks of violence.

Security Concerns and International Support
In light of these concerns, Kadzai appealed to the U.S. government to maintain and strengthen its support for Nigeria, particularly in combating insecurity.With the spate of insecurity in Nigeria, Trump had lamented that Christians were facing persecutions from the other prominent religious group.
He had threatened to salvage the situation if the Nigerian leadership failed to find lasting solutions. The development had also prompted the Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu, to take drastic steps, some of which culminated in the reshuffling of the military architecture, including appointing former Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, as Minister of Defence, our correspondent reports.
