The presidency on Sunday said President Bola Tinubu, is “well ahead of the orchestrated game unfolding in America”. The Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on X, a day after US President Donald Trump threatened to carry out attacks in Nigeria in response to purported anti-Christian violence.

Trump had in a Saturday statement said the United States would immediately cut off all assistance to the African country “if the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians.” He noted that he instructed the recently renamed Department of War to “prepare for possible action”. But Onanuga maintained that Tinubu had taken decisive steps by implementing sweeping changes in the nation’s military leadership and setting clear expectations for them.

“President Bola Tinubu was well ahead of the orchestrated game unfolding in America as he told the new service chiefs on Thursday what Nigerians expect of them. No more excuses, he said. Nigerians want results,” Onanuga wrote. The president had charged the security chiefs to carry out their duties with “patriotic zeal” and to be “innovative, pre-emptive, and courageous”. Tinubu also emphasised the need to deploy technology where necessary and vowed to provide full support to the armed forces.

“Security threats are constantly evolving, constantly mutating. Of grave concern to our administration is the recent emergence of new armed groups in the North-Central, North-West, and parts of the South,” the president had said. “We must not allow these new threats to fester. We must be decisive and proactive. Let us smash the new snakes right in the head.” Similarly, Tinubu is expected to meet with Trump, over the recent claims of Christian genocide in the country.
