Tinubu Government Says "Trump Reacted Based On US Congressmen Who Relied On False Reports From IPOB"


Daniel Bwala, an aide to President Bola Tinubu, stated this on Tuesday while appearing on Russia National TV.

The Nigerian government has told United States President, Donald Trump, to respect Nigeria’s sovereignty and stay away from any plans to deploy American troops to its territory.

Daniel Bwala, an aide to President Bola Tinubu, stated this on Tuesday while appearing on Russia National TV.

Bwala dismissed the allegations as part of an orchestrated media campaign to paint the Tinubu administration as anti-Christian, claiming that independent global monitors and organisations had found no evidence of state-backed religious genocide.


He said: “We try our best to downplay the rhetoric because we know for sure that that can be the reflection of the realities on ground.”

He further alleged that U.S. senators such as Ted Cruz had been misled by IPOB sympathisers seeking to influence Washington’s foreign policy.

He continued: “The decision of President Trump is anchored on the various tweets and pushes by congressmen. And the congressmen rely on a data and report that were submitted by a separatist group in Nigeria called the IPOB, that there’s a genocide of Christians in Nigeria, which is false because all intelligence and non-governmental organisations that carry out research and data about killings in Nigeria, none but these two that have affiliation with IPOB that indicated that there is a Christian genocide. In fact, even the content of the data contradict that.

“For example, the inter-society, the inter-society civil liberties and human rights that produce that report tried to allege that the killings of IPOB separatist group in the southeastern Nigeria were conducted by the Nigerian forces and that the killing of even the citizens of the southeast were conducted by the Nigerian forces under the pretext that because the people in the southeast have Jewish history and tradition.

“And it is very unfortunate. The second report, which is by Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa, in their own report (they admitted that there have been more killings of people who have not identified as Christians or Muslims. They are followed by the killings of Christians and thirdly by the killings of the Muslims. But they concluded that these killings were conducted by Fulani militia, meaning that they kill Christians, they kill Muslims and they kill non-Christians and non-Muslims. How can you write a report like that and also conclude that there is a genocide of one of them?

“I quite agree and let me tell you further. In fact, there is this investigative report that was conducted two weeks ago in Nigeria that suggested that that hoax, that narrative was amplified by the separatist group called the IPOB. Since 2016 that there is a Christian genocide and that the genocide is against them because they have a Jewish tradition. But the amplification now affected the people of the right wing of the Republican Party in the United States, which was pushed by Senator Ted Cruz and followed by Riley. These are senators who have lost the favour with the Baga base because they were considered, are still considered as people that have pandered so much to the AIPAC and the AIPAC agenda.

“So they are trying to reinvent themselves. That is why they now found a good distraction in Nigeria. That’s what the reports are saying.

“But we as a country, we try to be responsible enough to focus on the solution and not the problem. And our point is this, there have been killings in Nigeria because of the exceptional situation that we found ourselves. Our government has made massive progress in the fight against insecurity.

“And we’re calling on Donald Trump to assist us with military apparatus that is requisite for us to fight insecurity. We do not need the boots of the American soldiers in our soil. There has to be a respect of our territorial integrity.”

Bwala’s comments come amid rising diplomatic tension between Nigeria and US following Trump’s post on Truth Social, where he accused the Nigerian government of allowing “Christian genocide” and warned that America would “act fast and viciously” if the killings continue.

Is IPOB Responsible For US action?

Answer is Yes.

Did ipob lied?

Answer is No.


IPOB is only fighting you with truth, but you are fighting them with lies and propaganda.



God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


God bless IPOB leadership (DOS)

God bless all ipob members worldwide.


God bless ipob lobbyists

God bless all lovers of freedom.





Christians in Nigeria, especially those in North don't know what IPOB is doing for them.

So are there no American citizens and diplomats in Nigeria that have first hand information on what's happening in Nigeria that could give trump information of what's happening in Nigeria ?

Senseless and useless people in government

The report from Congress was based on a letter from the Nigerian government and the response to it by Trump. So, nobody is taking Nigeria's sovereignty and independence seriously over here.

Nigeria is such a very shameless country

If we must follow your narrative, then you should be more ashamed of yourself that the same people you tagged terrorists are the ones telling Trump what to do ..

I doubt if any sane person is still proud to be called a Nigerian

Tinubu Government Says "Trump Reacted Based On US Congressmen Who Relied On False Reports From IPOB"

Meanwhile, these are the people who want to produce president of Nigeria.

Obi should just stop wasting his time. You can't continue demarketing a country you want to preside over. And indeed going ahead to start lobbying foreign forces to come destroy that country because you lost election to be the country's president.

Infact, the votes he got in 2023 elections will be the highest you can ever get in subsequent similar elections.

These useless people in government will always find a way to blame IPOB for everything!

One requirement for being in or supporting APC government is to be shameless.

So in essence the FG is saying that there's no killing in Nigeria? And besides they are saying that IPOB is bigger than Tinubu led federal government. Wow.

SmartPolician:
This useless people in government will always find a way to blame IPOB for everything!

Didn't know that IPOB is bigger than Tinubu led federal government until today.

We will not allow anyone to use our internal issues to make money abroad at the expense of our national security.

The snatch maladministration of Tinubu is not even serious about anything. They have reduced the whole genocide to a matter of tribalism & hate

Trump listen to those you call terrorists

Igbos are the wisest tribe in Africa, when Igbos were campaigning and voting for Trump, the yorubas were laughing... they couldn't see the big picture, when IPOB were tagging Trump and UN every Tuesday on Twitter yoruba mocked... When Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said "The world are watching" Yoruba thought it was a joke... what an Igbo man sees while sitting on the floor a Yoruba will never see it even while standing on the tallest tree.... The Truth is that Trump is actually coming to set Biafra free.... it was an agreement he had with Biafra Leaders... Nnamdi Kanu has won. As it stands now, Nigeria has two options, release Kanu unconditionally and compensate him for evading his peaceful home and killing 19 people including Children and a dog, which led to the death of his Parents, Compensate Biafrans for several killings of unarmed Biafrans who were only protesting Against injustice with American flag in their hands. Then allow Biafra to go peacefully or they will have Nnamdi Kanu disgrace them before their own court as the world watches... all the people Nnamdi mentioned as witnesses must appear and face Nnamdi's super intelligence and wisdom. Nigeria will explain how they kidnapped Nnamdi from Kenya to Nigeria without Kenya Government approval thereby breaking International law. Wike will explain Obigbo massacre and the state of emergency that removed an elected governor and replaced with a military man. Whatever law that granted such in Rivers state can also warrant America declaring state of Emergency in Nigeria that can remove Tinubu and replace him with an American soldier for at least Six months of more till the killing stops.. Adamu will explain how rodents are interior sit in Aso rock

If the American government can give ipob a listening ear and threatens the country of Nigeria it means ipobs are the only people who can save this country, give the leadership of this country to ipob

FG should continue to engage diplomatically with the US to correct any misinformation and false narratives. The sovereignty of Nigeria is not negotiable.

Ipob want to produce a president ? What you Smoking? What is that they give you Tinubu supporters to smoke. They don't want Biafra again ?

You have produced the President you all wanted. So what is now happening ? Is Ipob responsible for the insecurity in Nigeria? Are they the one committing acts of genocide towards Christians ? So Tinubu allowed Ipob to cause insecurity and terrorize the whole country from the North to the South.

You have the power to crush the insecurity & genocide caused by ipob. You have everything at your disposal. Why are you still blaming them ?

What is exactly that they give you Tinubu people to drink eat or smoke. What is that exactly ?

Then tell that agulu clown to stop disturbing Nigeria with his senseless rants on Nigeria matters. We Nigerians don't want his mouth in our matters.

God forbid. They can go and continue sleeping inside the ears of Trump.

What episode now

That’s exactly what I’m saying, thank God people are beginning to see it! Over 90% of my eastern contacts Whatapp status have been celebration of trump invading Nigeria, with many of them wishing the US military start from aso rock, then I ask, during this invasion, will their missiles separate ibos from other tribes?? Because old me will say” the wicked will always use their hands to destroy themselves . 📖 Psalm 9:16 (NIV)

"The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.

Proverbs 5:22 (NIV): "The wicked are snared by their own iniquities; they are held fast by the cords of their sin."

Proverbs 11:5 (NIV): "The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness."

so USA now listens to IPOB

Tinubu u r a joker

The FG is doing well in managing the situation.

Kudos

I no like IPOB....but everytin happening in Nigeria na confirm truth.
