Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu is set to meet with U.S President Donald Trump following recent allegations of a Christian genocide in Nigeria, according to a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala.

Bwala, who disclosed the development via a post on X (formerly Twitter), said the meeting between the two leaders would take place “in the coming days.”

“President Trump has assisted Nigeria greatly by authorising the sale of arms, which President Tinubu has effectively utilised in the ongoing fight against terrorism and the results are evident,” Bwala said.

He noted that both leaders share a strong commitment to tackling insurgency and all forms of terrorism, adding that the upcoming talks would address differing perspectives on whether terrorist attacks in Nigeria specifically target Christians or people of all faiths.

“Any differences in perception, whether terrorists in Nigeria attack only Christians or target all faiths and non-believers, will be discussed and resolved during the meeting, which could hold either at the State House in Abuja or the White House in Washington,” he added.

The announcement follows Trump’s recent warning of potential military action against Nigeria over alleged anti-Christian killings.

On Saturday, the U.S President said he had directed the newly renamed Department of War to “prepare for possible action,” threatening to cut off all aid to Nigeria if the killings continued.

“If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians,” Trump wrote on social media, warning the Nigerian government to act swiftly.

Trump also revealed plans to place Nigeria on the State Department’s “Countries of Particular Concern” list, which tracks nations accused of religious persecution.

Bwala emphasized that despite the tensions, Tinubu and Trump remain united in their goal of eradicating terrorism and ensuring peace across Nigeria and the broader region.

The United States Representative for West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, Riley Moore, has issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu, urging the Nigerian government to take seriously President Donald Trump’s threat of possible U.S military intervention over the alleged killings of Christians in Nigeria.

Reacting to Trump’s recent comments on what he described as a “genocide” against Christians, Moore said the U.S would no longer remain silent in the face of such atrocities.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the congressman cautioned the Nigerian government not to “test” President Trump’s resolve, saying the U.S. president had made his position clear.

“To the Government of Nigeria and @officialABAT: President Trump has provided forewarning. If you do not act swiftly to end the killing of our brothers and sisters in Christ, consequences will follow,” Moore wrote.

He added that the era of America “looking the other way” was over, emphasizing that the Trump administration would not tolerate violence against Christians in any part of the world.

“The days of the U.S. turning a blind eye are gone, it will never happen on @POTUS’ watch,” he said.

“I urge you to cooperate with us in preventing this atrocity that worsens by the day. We want your people to live in peace, all of them, especially Christians.”

Moore concluded with a strong warning:

“The President has been clear. I would not test his resolve. Many have tried and all have failed. We will not allow the gates of hell to prevail against the faithful.”

Trump had earlier threatened to deploy U.S. forces “guns-a-blazing” into Nigeria if the government failed to curb what he termed the systematic killing of Christians by Islamist militants.

U.S President Donald Trump has warned that Washington may consider military intervention in Nigeria if the government fails to halt what he described as the “killing of Christians” by Islamist militants.

In a fiery post on his Truth Social platform, the former Republican president said he had instructed the Pentagon to begin drafting possible plans for action. The comments came a day after he claimed that Christianity was “facing an existential threat in Nigeria.”

“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the United States will immediately suspend all aid and assistance to Nigeria,” Trump wrote.

“We may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to wipe out the Islamic terrorists committing these horrible atrocities.”

He added: “I have directed our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we strike, it will be fast, decisive, and powerful, just like the thugs who attack our cherished Christians.”

Trump concluded his post with a direct warning: “THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!”

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, has been battling multiple security crises over the years. Experts note that violence in the country has claimed both Christian and Muslim lives, often rooted in complex ethnic, religious, and political tensions.

On Friday, Trump had earlier posted, without offering evidence, that “thousands of Christians are being killed” by “radical Islamists.”

While claims of anti-Christian persecution have circulated widely, analysts caution that Nigeria’s conflicts are multifaceted and not solely defined by religion.

The nation remains nearly evenly divided between a Muslim-majority north and a largely Christian south.
