The Presidency has confirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will meet with United States President Donald Trump in the coming days over the controversial claim of \u201cChristian genocide\u201d in Nigeria.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, disclosed this on\u00a0 Sunday on his X platform.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said the meeting is part of efforts to clarify the US government\u2019s concerns about alleged targeted attacks on Christians in the country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to him, arrangements are being made for the two leaders to sit and discuss the matter either at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja or the White House in Washington D.C.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe President will meet with President Trump soon to address these concerns and provide clarity. The narrative that terrorists are targeting only Christians in Nigeria must be properly examined because terrorism affects people of all faith and even those with no faith,\u201d Bwala stated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Trump had recently declared Nigeria a \u201ccountry of particular concern\u201d, citing what he described as systematic killings of Christians in parts of the North.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He also threatened to suspend U.S. aid and consider further actions if the Nigerian government fails to stop the violence.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, the Nigerian government has rejected the claim, insisting that insecurity affects every group and that the administration remains committed to protecting citizens irrespective of religion.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bwala maintained that Tinubu has \u201cmassive results\u201d to show in the fight against terrorism and banditry, adding:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis administration has taken significant steps to confront insecurity and is open to constructive engagement with international partners, including the United States.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although an exact date has not been revealed, the Presidency expects the meeting to take place within days, as global attention continues to focus on Nigeria\u2019s security challenges and religious freedom concerns.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s left to be seen if Trump will welcome such meeting or if such will make him soft-pedal on his threatened sanctions.<\/div>\n
