A prominent member of Penpushing platform, Otunba Segun Showunmi will join other stakeholders to feature on a high-level Capitol Forum on Terrorism and Religious Violence in Nigeria.
Penpushing reports that the forum is scheduled to hold on Thursday at Washington, D.C., United States of America (USA), which will equally bring together legal experts, faith leaders, security analysts, and advocates to address the growing threat of terrorism and sectarian violence in Nigeria and its wider global implications.
The statement added that Showunmi is expected to play a central role in shaping the tone and substance of the discussions, and as a leading Nigerian political communicator and public intellectual, he will provide critical insight into the structural drivers of insecurity in Nigeria, particularly the link between weak democratic institutions and the persistence of insurgency and religious violence.
Penpushing further reports that his intervention will emphasize the necessity of strengthening democratic governance, electoral integrity, and state capacity as foundational elements in any credible counterterrorism strategy.
The discussions will focus on the evolving dynamics of extremist violence in Nigeria, the humanitarian impact on affected communities, and the strategic responses required at both national and international levels.
Penpushing also reports that, a key feature of the event will be firsthand testimony from victims, including Mercy Maisamari, underscoring the human cost of the crisis, while participants are expected to advance actionable policy recommendations aimed at enhancing U.S.–Nigeria cooperation, improving intelligence-sharing frameworks, supporting victims, and reinforcing democratic resilience as a long-term safeguard against extremism.
The statement stated that the forum represents a critical platform for elevating informed perspectives and advancing solutions to one of the most pressing security and human rights challenges facing Nigeria today.
Penpushing reports that other prominent speakers to feature included Cruz, Leo Terrell, Chris Smith, Tony Perkins, Frank Wolf, Dumisani Washington, Robert Destro, Mercy Maisamari, Walid Phares, Yuval David, and Mohamed Elsanousi.
