In a stunning international development, U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly directed the American military to prepare for a “possible show of force” in Nigeria, following what he described as a “hostile and disrespectful” response from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to recent allegations made by Trump regarding financial misconduct and election influence.

Sources within Washington suggest that Trump’s remarks — initially made during a press briefing where he questioned “certain financial dealings in West Africa” — sparked a sharp rebuke from Nigeria’s presidential office, calling Trump’s statement “reckless, baseless, and an affront to Nigeria’s sovereignty.”

In response, President Trump reportedly met with Pentagon officials late Friday night, instructing them to “stand ready” for potential strategic demonstrations in West Africa, which could include naval maneuvers off the Gulf of Guinea and air surveillance missions across key Nigerian regions.

A senior U.S. defense insider told reporters:

> “The President wants to send a message — not of war, but of strength. Nigeria’s leadership must understand that the United States will not be talked down to or disrespected.”

Meanwhile, President Tinubu’s spokesperson has condemned the move, calling it “an unnecessary provocation that undermines diplomatic relations and regional stability.”

Analysts warn that the situation could escalate if both sides continue to exchange heated rhetoric, with some urging immediate diplomatic talks to prevent what could become the most significant U.S.–Nigeria standoff in decades.

The African Union has called for restraint and dialogue.

The United Nations has expressed “serious concern” over the growing tension.

Nigerian citizens and diaspora communities are taking to social media, urging peace and demanding clarity over Trump’s allegations.
