The Presidency has announced that President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to meet with his United States counterpart, Donald Trump, in the coming days.
Daniel Bwala, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on policy communication, said the meeting will be centered around 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 added that Trump had earlier supported Nigeria through approved arms sales, which the Tinubu administration has effectively deployed in advancing its counterterrorism operations.
