The Presidency has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu will soon meet his US counterpart, Donald Trump, “in the coming days.”
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, said the meeting will be centred on claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Bwala’s statement follows Trump’s recent remarks accusing the Nigerian government of ignoring attacks on Christians
Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “Both President Bola Tinubu and President Donald Trump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity.”
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.
