Nigeria’s Abrahamic Movement declares solidarity with Israel from Lagos
In a press release issued in Lagos, the Nigeria Chapter of the Abrahamic Movement affirmed the Jewish people’s right to a homeland at peace, calling Jews, Christians and Muslims “one family, one bloodline, one destiny.”
A gesture of shared heritage: the Abrahamic Movement’s Lagos declaration invokes the covenant said to bind Jew, Christian and Muslim alike.
Abuja, Nigeria — September 11, 2026. The Abrahamic Movement, Nigeria Chapter, today declared, in a statement issued from Lagos, its solidarity with the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
In the official communication, National Chairperson Amb. Chimbo Obieze said the Movement, rooted in the covenant of Abraham, stands for the unity of all children of Abraham — Jew, Christian, and Muslim.
“We are one family, one bloodline, one destiny. From Lagos, Nigeria to Jerusalem — Shalom. We reject antisemitism in all forms and affirm Israel’s right to exist in peace and security.” — Amb. Chimbo Obieze, National Chairperson, The Abrahamic Movement, Nigeria Chapter
The Movement noted the significance of the Feast of Trumpets, observed this season, as a time of remembrance and renewal, and used the occasion to call for peace in Jerusalem and continued dialogue across the Abrahamic faiths.
The Lagos declaration went further, framing Nigeria’s own religious diversity as an asset to interfaith peacebuilding rather than a source of division. The Chapter argued that a nation home to large Christian and Muslim populations, alongside smaller Jewish and traditional communities, has a distinct role to play in modeling coexistence for the wider region.
The Abrahamic Family Peace Initiative
To carry the declaration forward, the Nigeria Chapter announced a new Abrahamic Family Peace Initiative, to be coordinated from Lagos. Further details on its programming and partners are expected in subsequent statements from the Movement.
The statement was signed by Amb. Chimbo Obieze, Chairperson of The Abrahamic Movement, Nigeria Chapter, based in Abuja, Nigeria.
