Sheikh Gumi condemned Trump's remarks as a profound disrespect to Nigeria's sovereignty and advised Tinubu to demand an official retraction from the U.S. ambassador. The cleric's comments come amid rising diplomatic tensions between the two countries, with concerns over alleged religious persecution and the need for Nigeria to diversify its global alliances.
