Nigeria Pushes Back as Trump Prepares Military Over Alleged Christian Genocide

Tensions are rising between the U.S. and Nigeria after President Donald Trump accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from Islamist militant attacks and ordered the U.S. military to prepare for possible action. Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has rejected the claims, defending the country’s commitment to religious freedom and calling the accusations politically driven. Joining us to break this down is Dr. Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Media and Policy Communication, and he is also the official spokesperson for the president. We’ll unpack the facts behind the accusations, the government’s response, and what this could mean for democracy, security, and diplomacy across West Africa and beyond.
