President Bola Tinubu’s special adviser on media and policy communication, Daniel Bwala, said that the president has been engaging with Nigerians daily since U.S. President Donald Trump alleged a Christian genocide in Nigeria. Bwala made the remark during an interview on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” program, following Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and his threat of possible military action if the killings continue.
When asked why President Tinubu has remained silent on the issue, Bwala argued that the president’s daily tweets and statements constitute a form of communication with the public. He noted that Tinubu’s use of social‑media platforms such as Twitter is an effective way to convey his message to Nigerians, emphasizing that issuing statements and using social media are both valid channels of communication. According to Bwala, the president has been speaking to Nigerians every day through these mediums.
Trump’s allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria have sparked significant concern and debate. Reactions have ranged from calls for increased international pressure on the Nigerian government to address the issue, to skepticism about the accuracy of the claims. As these developments unfold, the Nigerian government’s response is being closely watched. Bwala’s comments suggest that President Tinubu is actively engaging with the public on the matter, albeit through social media and statements rather than a direct address. The situation’s evolution will determine how the Nigerian government ultimately responds to the U.S. president’s allegations and the potential implications for the country’s international relations.
