Truth Now Speaking For Itself – Bwala On Reports IPOB Behind Genocide Claims by CyynthiaKiss(op): 7:13pm On Jan 20

The Presidency has insisted that the long-debated claim of Christian genocide in Nigeria was falsely originated by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

A report published earlier this month by the New York Times had accused Emeka Umeagbalasi, a trader and leader of an Onitsha-based NGO, Intersociety, of masterminding the genocide claim that prompted the action of the US President Donald Trump and some lawmakers.

Reacting to the report, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, said the fact are beginning to emerge.

In a statement on his official X handle on Tuesday, Bwala recalled a series of interviews where he declared that IPOB was behind the narrative.

He said, “I said it early, and I said it clearly.
In August 2025, during my first interview on TVC, I warned that the so-called “Christian Genocide” narrative was a deliberate hoax, pushed by IPOB.

“This was long before my media engagements and advocacy tours across the US, France, and the UK, where I consistently presented facts to counter misinformation being fed to the international community.

“Today, the truth is speaking for itself. The New York Times has traced this false narrative to claims linked to Emeka Umeagbalasi, exposing how conjecture and bias were amplified as “reports.” Facts are stubborn.

“Let it be known to all that these formed the basis upon which the US Senators and congressmen formed their opinion and convinced the POTUS to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern

So Trump is listening to the so called terrorists according to your logic ?

Tinubu just surrounded himself with people that are foolish like him.
Most of his handlers need mental evaluation honestly.

Tinubu and his foolish handlers are setting themselves up for mockery

Honestly this administration parades the most of empty heads and lowest IQ. Imagine the foolishness they are peddling. If they think CIA and FBI are not furnishing POTUS with intelligence on happenings around the globe not just Nigeria, then they are pathetic idiots.

Besides, Tinubu himself one time posted that there is Christian genocide ongoing in the country. It's even surprising that they forgot the testament of some people from Benue and Platue states on US Congress hearing.

I have never seen a people so daft and empty like the one parading and supporting this administration.

Because the North whom he was bragging voted him have rejected him because of his unprecedented failure and incompetence, he is now trying to pitch the North against Igbos. Even after sacrificing Nnamdi Kanu to the sultanate, they still don't rate and regard him.

The President's aides should spend time talking about what the government has achieved or wants to achieve, it should not be a position for attack dawgs. I miss that young man they said resigned over personal issues before Onanuga came to the position. That was the last decent spokesperson we had for the government. You could see he was distinct and unique, compared to anyone including Garba Shehu and the Sun man who called his people wailers. They don't care about the fact that the president is for everyone and the opportunity they have to bring people to his side, instead they keep attacking.

I said the same thing that the Christian genocide propaganda was an agenda being promoted by the IPOB terrorist group.
I have been vindicated once again.
Anyone can push any agenda in the US congress as long as you ar willing to pay US congressmen. They will sell your agenda to the US public and to rhe US president for thr right price. This is exactly how the Israelis have been buying the ears of US govt for decades.
It's basically bribery disguised as " lobbying ".
Fraud 101.

CIA gets their information from ordinary people from all over the world. It's nothing new.
Do you think that a white CIA official will be able to operate in Nigeria without being exposed. They use the locals to gather intelligence. Couple with the fact the IPOB is paying US congressmen to push their agenda with the goal of destabilizing the country.

There are several potential sources in the North and middle belt that CIA would have gotten First hand information from. We're gradually seeing the main aim of the $9 million contract.

Good one from the so called IPOB: it took the effort of a proscribed organization to push the obvious to the international community.

IPOB might be a blessing to the Nigeria's Christian community after all.
