President Bola Tinubu is to meet with his United States counterpart, Donald Trump, to discuss the allegations of a Christians genocide in Nigeria.
Presidential spokesperson, Daniel Bwala, disclosed this in a post on X on Saturday, but did not give the date when both leaders would have the meeting.
Bwala said the meeting would review counterterrorism cooperation and clarifying misconceptions about the nature of terrorist attacks in Nigeria.
Bwala said “both President @officialABAT and President @realDonaldTrump have shared interests in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity.
“President Trump has assisted Nigeria a lot by authorising the sale of arms, and President Tinubu has adequately utilised that opportunity in the fight against terrorism, with massive results to show for it.
“As for the differences as to whether terrorists in Nigeria target only Christians or all faiths, those would be discussed and resolved by the two leaders when they meet in the coming days, either in the State House or White House.”
Trump on Saturday said he would deploy US soldiers to Nigeria, over alleged persecution of Christians.
Trump issued the threat less than 24 hours after he has designated Nigeria as a ‘country of particular concern’.
