Regarding the planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Nigerian presidency has provided an update.
Daniel Bwala, President Tinubu’s special adviser on media and policy communication, expressed hope that President Tinubu and his American counterpart will soon meet.
Bwala reportedly made the claim during an interview on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” on Monday.
“I said Tinubu and Trump will hopefully meet, either at the White House or the State House,” stated Bwala.
“It might occur at any time. The cornerstone to diplomacy is procedure. Anything that you are building needs to be safeguarded and maintained.
“We won’t be coerced into disclosing the current stage of this conversation because protocol must be respected in diplomacy.”
He went on to refute claims that Nigerians would not be subject to penalties from the US.
He claims that Nigerians will be the ones who suffer the most if sanctions are applied.
“Nigerians will be the ones who suffer the most if sanctions are placed on them,” he declared.
“Trump doesn’t harbor resentment; after he says what he wants to say, things go back to normal.”
“The Nigerian administration is responding to Trump’s message after properly understanding it. Results will soon start to show.
This is the second time the presidential adviser has declared that his principle would meet with Donald Trump following the US President’s threat of a military invasion of Nigeria due to claims of Christian genocide there.
