President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called for a decisive global action to end the ongoing violence in Gaza, urging world leaders to move beyond symbolic condemnations.
Speaking at an extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh on Monday, Tinubu called on the international community to take concrete steps to stop what he described as “Israeli aggression” against the people of Gaza.
Highlighting the prolonged suffering of Palestinians, Tinubu emphasised that the crisis has inflicted immeasurable harm on innocent lives, underscoring a shared responsibility among nations that champion justice and human dignity.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu argued that leaders have a moral duty to seek a swift and sustainable resolution to the conflict, one that respects the sanctity of human life and upholds humanitarian values.
Tinubu stressed that the time for empty condemnations had passed, asserting that only meaningful, coordinated action could bring lasting peace to the region.
