President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, stated that the president has made strides in dismantling the terrorist networks responsible for insecurity in Nigeria.
Bwala reassured Nigeria’s foreign partners that there is no genocide against Christians occurring in the country.
He characterized the genocide claims made by U.S. lawmakers and media as a misleading narrative.
In an interview with France24 TV in Paris, Bwala remarked: “During a constructive engagement at France24 TV in Paris, I made it clear that Nigeria rejects the misleading narrative being propagated by certain Western media outlets and a few U.S. lawmakers regarding a so-called 'Christian genocide.'”
“This is a significant misrepresentation of Nigeria’s reality. The security challenges we have faced are driven by criminal activity, not religion, and the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made notable progress in dismantling the terrorist networks responsible.”
“Instead of fostering division, we urge our international partners to support Nigeria in maintaining the advancements made against insurgency and banditry, which have sharply declined over the past two and a half years.”
“Our focus remains on peace, unity, and national development, and no propaganda can divert us from that mission.”
“A line in our national anthem states: 'though tongues and tribes may differ, in Brotherhood we stand.' This is our motto and guiding principle in Nigeria.”
