Former Kaduna Central senator and prominent human rights advocate, Shehu Sani, has spoken out following reports that United States President Donald Trump allegedly threatened to seize Greenland, a territory under Danish sovereignty. Sani described the reported remarks as baseless and dangerous.
The news sparked widespread surprise and criticism after it circulated across social media platforms, with many viewing the statement as an aggressive display of power by the United States. The reaction drew condemnation from various quarters, including Shehu Sani, who was among the most vocal critics.
In a post shared on his verified X account on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, the former lawmaker strongly faulted Trump’s position. He likened the reported threat to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, arguing that both situations reflect the misuse of military and economic dominance to undermine international norms.
According to Sani, the moment powerful nations begin to violate global laws based on strength alone, the security of all countries becomes uncertain. He stressed that respect for sovereignty and established borders is essential for maintaining global stability.
His remarks quickly gained attention online, igniting conversations about international law, power politics, and the risks of unchecked geopolitical ambitions.
In his words, Greenland remains the rightful territory of Denmark, and any threat to forcibly take it mirrors other global conflicts where power has been used to override international agreements.
