The Presidency has confirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in the coming days to discuss allegations of a Christian genocide in Nigeria.

The planned meeting follows recent comments by Trump accusing the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from targeted attacks.

Trump had threatened military action against Nigeria and warned that the United States could suspend aid to the country over alleged persecution of Christians.

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, disclosed the development in a post on X on Saturday.

According to him, the discussions will center on strengthening counterterrorism cooperation and addressing misconceptions about the nature of terrorist attacks in Nigeria.

“Both President @officialABAT and President @realDonaldTrump have shared interests in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity,” Bwala wrote.

He added: “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.”
