The Nigerian Presidency has announced that President Bola Tinubu is expected to hold a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump “in the coming days.”
According to Daniel Bwala, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, the discussion will focus heavily on recent allegations of a Christian massacre in the country.
This follows Trump’s public criticism of the Nigerian government over alleged attacks on Christians.
In a post shared on X, Bwala wrote:
“Both President @officialABAT and President @realDonaldTrump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity.
“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.
“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.”
Trump recently warned that the United States may consider cutting support to Nigeria and even launching direct military action if attacks on Christians continue.
Bwala added that both leaders remain deeply committed to fighting terrorism, noting that Trump had previously supported Nigeria through approved arms sales, which the Tinubu administration has “adequately utilised” in its security operations.
