Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Communication, has revealed that President Tinubu and former United States President Donald Trump will meet “in the coming days” to discuss allegations of a Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Bwala, who made the disclosure in a statement on Saturday, said the meeting would focus on addressing concerns raised in recent comments by President Trump, who had alleged that Christians in Nigeria were facing widespread persecution and killings.

According to him, both leaders are expected to deliberate on issues of religious freedom, terrorism, and security cooperation between the two countries. He added that the meeting might hold either at the Presidential Villa in Abuja or at the White House in Washington, depending on diplomatic arrangements.

Bwala explained that President Tinubu remains committed to ensuring that every Nigerian, regardless of faith, enjoys equal protection under the law. He stressed that the administration’s efforts against terrorism and banditry were aimed at protecting all citizens, not any particular religious group.

The statement comes amid renewed international attention following President Trump’s decision to re-designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged religious freedom violations. Trump also warned that the United States could reconsider its military and humanitarian assistance to Nigeria if the reported killings of Christians persist.

The Nigerian government, however, has consistently dismissed such claims, describing them as politically motivated and inaccurate. Officials maintain that the security challenges facing the country affect people of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds.

The proposed Tinubu-Trump meeting is expected to clarify Nigeria’s position, strengthen bilateral ties, and reinforce global collaboration in combating extremism and misinformation.
