Over threat of American attack
Aso Rock has hinted that President Tinubu and his US counterpart, Donald Trump will meet to discuss their shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity.
The Presidency through the Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala said that the two leaders would in few days coming either in State House Abuja or White House in Washington DC meet to discuss the differences as to whether terrorists in Nigeria target only Christians or in fact all faiths.
In his X platform @BwalaDaniel, the presidential aide wrote on Sunday that: “Both President @officialABAT and President @realDonaldTrump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity.
“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.”
This reaction follows Trump’s declaration on Saturday that he has asked the US Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians.”
The U.S. government will also immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, Trump said on social media handles.
It will also recalled that this is not the first time President Trump is accusing the Nigerian government of genocide against Christians.
At the White House on April 30, 2018, when the late President Muhammadu Buhari was on a state visit to the White House to request for the sale of arms and the tucano jet to fight insurgency, as he was about to sit down, Trump queried: “why are you killing Christians. I won’t tolerate it any longer?”.
