Sunday, November 2, 2025 - Daniel Bwala, special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on policy communication, has confirmed that the Nigerian leader and US President Donald Trump will hold a meeting “in the coming days.”
The central topic of discussion will be the claims of
Christian genocide currently facing the West African nation. This announcement
follows Trump’s recent remark asserting that the Nigerian government has
neglected to address attacks on Christians, a highly contentious claim that has
fueled widespread debate.
Bwala was quick to underscore the shared dedication of both
Presidents to fighting insurgency and all forms of terrorism. The presidential
aide highlighted President Trump’s consistent support for Nigeria, specifically
noting his authorization of arms sales. He stated that President Tinubu has
effectively utilized this opportunity in the counter-terrorism effort, which is
now yielding significant positive results.
Addressing the division over whether terrorist groups in
Nigeria target Christians exclusively or attack all faiths indiscriminately,
Mr. Bwala stated that any such differences in perspective would be addressed
and resolved when the two leaders meet. He added that the summit could take
place at the State House in Abuja or the White House 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.”
