In a recent video shared on Facebook on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, Primate Elijah Ayodele spoke about the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Iran, offering advice directed at Donald Trump on how to approach the situation more diplomatically.
In the video from 11:09, Ayodele stated, “Trump: Stop threatening Iran, put away your ego, go and apologize; let’s settle this amicably.” He explained that continued threats and aggressive posturing could further escalate tensions rather than bring about a resolution to the crisis.
According to Ayodele, the conflict between the United States and Iran requires restraint, dialogue, and mutual understanding in order to avoid further escalation. He suggested that a shift from confrontation to negotiation could open the door to more constructive engagement between both sides.
Ayodele further emphasized that leadership in times of conflict should prioritize peacebuilding and conflict resolution over confrontation. He noted that when tensions rise, leaders must be willing to explore diplomatic options that can reduce hostility and protect lives.
The cleric added that apologies and reconciliation, while politically sensitive, can sometimes serve as important steps toward de escalation in prolonged disputes. He stressed that humility and openness in leadership can contribute to restoring trust and fostering stability.
Ayodele concluded by urging Donald Trump and other world leaders involved in the conflict to consider peaceful alternatives, noting that resolving disputes through dialogue remains the most effective way to achieve lasting stability and prevent further global disruption. Read_More…
