Trump, Tinubu may meet in Abuja or Washington over Christian Killings – Bwala

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, says the Nigerian President and US President Donald Trump will meet in the coming days to discuss allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Bwala’s statement follows recent remarks by Trump accusing the Nigerian government of ignoring attacks on Christians — a claim that has stirred widespread debate.

According to Bwala, both leaders share a strong commitment to fighting insurgency and terrorism. He noted that Trump had supported Nigeria by approving arms sales during his previous administration, which Tinubu has effectively used in combating terrorism, producing significant results.

“Both President Bola Tinubu and President Donald Trump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity,” Bwala said.

“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,” he added.

Meanwhile, Riley Moore, a member of the US House of Representatives, has issued a stern warning to the Nigerian government over the alleged targeted attacks on Christians.

“President Trump has provided forewarning if you do not correct the current state of inaction to stop the killing of our brothers and sisters in Christ in your country. The days of the US looking the other way are over,” Moore wrote on X.

“I urge you to cooperate with us in preventing this atrocity that worsens every day. We want your people to live in peace — all of them, especially Christians. The President has been clear. I would not test his resolve. Many have tried and all have failed. We will not allow the gates of hell to prevail against the faithful.”
