The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the US airstrike in Sokoto, stating that the Nigerian government should have been the first to break the news. The PDP is questioning the government's role in the operation and expressing concerns about the country's sovereignty ¹.

The US airstrike, carried out on Christmas Day, targeted ISIS militants in northwest Nigeria, with the Nigerian government confirming the operation was a joint effort with the US. However, some Nigerians, including Omoyele Sowore, are criticizing the government's lack of leadership and questioning whether the country's sovereignty was violated ² ¹.

The Nigerian government has emphasized that the airstrike was part of ongoing security cooperation with international partners, aimed at combating terrorism and protecting civilian lives. The government also stressed that all counter-terrorism efforts prioritize protecting human life and upholding national unity ³ ⁴.
