Daniel Bwala, who serves as the special adviser to President Bola Tinubu regarding policy communication matters, has verified that the Nigerian head of state and U.S. President Donald Trump are scheduled to convene “in the coming days.”
The primary subject matter for their conversation will revolve around the accusations of Christian genocide that are presently confronting the West African country. This revelation comes on the heels of Trump’s latest statement insisting that the Nigerian authorities have failed to tackle assaults on Christians, a deeply divisive assertion that has ignited extensive controversy.
Bwala promptly emphasized the mutual commitment displayed by both Presidents toward combating insurgency along with every type of terrorism. The aide to the president pointed out President Trump’s ongoing backing for Nigeria, with particular reference to his approval of weapons transactions. He mentioned that President Tinubu has skillfully made use of this chance within the anti-terrorism operations, an initiative that is currently producing substantial favorable outcomes.
In tackling the disagreement concerning whether militant organizations operating in Nigeria focus solely on Christians or strike against individuals of every religion without discrimination, Mr. Bwala indicated that any such variances in viewpoint will be tackled and settled during the encounter between the two heads of state. He further noted that the gathering might occur at the State House located in Abuja or at the White House situated in Washington.
“Both President Bola Tinubu and President Donald Trump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity,” he remarked.
“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.”
He concluded: “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.”
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
