Africa-Press – Nigeria. Former presidential adviser, Reuben Abati, has stressed the need for Nigeria to go beyond traditional diplomacy with America on issues of Christian genocide in the country.
Abati stated this on Arise Television on Wednesday in reaction to the speeches of American rapper, Nicki Minaj and former Canadian lawmaker, Goldie Ghamari.
Recall that Nicki Minaj had previously called out Nigerian leaders for doing little or nothing to stop the killing of Christians in the country.
“The American government seems to be ahead in this game because there is something we call traditional diplomacy and modern diplomacy.
“Traditional diplomacy is government to government. A lot of secrecy and formality. The Americans have gone ahead in labeling Nigeria to what is called modern diplomacy.
“Americans are bringing personalities like Ghamari from Canada and Nicki Minaj from America. They have expanded the scope. If America takes one step, Nigeria should also go beyond denial and be reactive to also play the game,” Abati said.
