The Presidency has announced that President Bola Tinubu will soon meet his United States counterpart, Donald Trump “in the coming days.”
Daniel Bwala, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on policy communication, said the meeting will be centred around claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Bwala’s statement follows Trump’s recent remarks accusing the Nigerian mp00government of ignoring attacks on Christians
Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “Both President @officialABAT and President @realDonaldTrump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity.
“President Trump has assisted Nigeria a lot by authorizing the sale of arms to Nigeria and President Tinubu has adequately utilized the opportunity in the fight against terrorism for which we have massive results to show for it.
“As for the differences as to whether terrorists in Nigeria target only Christians or in fact all faiths and no faiths, the differences if they exist would be discussed and resolved by the two leaders when they meet in the coming days, either in State House or White House.”
Trump had threatened military action against Nigeria to “wipe out” terrorists killing Christians in the country.
He also warned that the United States might cut off all aid and assistance to Nigeria.
According to Bwala, both leaders share a strong commitment to tackling insurgency and terrorism.
He noted that Trump had previously supported Nigeria by approving arms sales, which Tinubu’s administration has “adequately utilised” in its counterterrorism efforts.
