Presidential aide Daniel Bwala says President Bola Tinubu and United States President Donald Trump are expected to meet soon to address recent claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Bwala, who serves as Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, disclosed this while reacting to Trump’s remarks accusing the Nigerian government of failing to act against attacks on Christians.
According to Bwala, both leaders share a common interest in countering terrorism and insurgency, adding that the United States under Trump had previously supported Nigeria through the sale of military equipment.
“President Trump has assisted Nigeria a lot by authorising the sale of arms to Nigeria, and President Tinubu has adequately utilised the opportunity in the fight against terrorism, for which we have massive results to show,” Bwala said.
He explained that differences in perception regarding whether terrorists in Nigeria target only Christians or people of all faiths would be discussed during the meeting, which could hold either at the State House in Abuja or the White House in Washington.
