Tinubu dismantling terror networks, no Christian genocide in Nigeria – Bwala

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, said the president has made progress in dismantling terror networks responsible for insecurity in Nigeria.

Bwala assured Nigeria’s foreign partners that there is no genocide against Christians in the country.

He described the genocide claim by United States lawmakers and media as a false narrative.

In an interview with France24 TV in Paris, Bwala said: “During a productive engagement at France24 TV in Paris, I made it clear that Nigeria rejects the false narrative being pushed by certain Western media outlets and a few U.S. lawmakers about a so-called “Christian genocide.”

“This is a gross misrepresentation of Nigeria’s reality. The challenges of insecurity we’ve faced are driven by criminality, not religion, and the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made significant progress in dismantling the terror networks responsible.

“Rather than amplifying division, we invite our international partners to stand with Nigeria in sustaining the gains made against insurgency and banditry, which have declined sharply over the last two and a half years.

“Our focus remains on peace, unity, and national development, and no propaganda can distract us from that mission.

“A stanza in our national anthem says: “though tongues and tribes may differ, but in BrotherHood we stand.” This is our watchword and guiding principles in Nigeria.”
