A Massive Endorsement: US Lawmaker Praises Tinubu, Claims State Police Will Save Nigeria’s Christians!.
U.S. Congressman Riley Moore has expressed strong support for the Nigerian Senate’s recent approval of a Constitution Alteration Bill aimed at creating state police forces.

-
Credit to Leadership: The congressman commended President Bola Tinubu for his role in advancing the initiative.
