President Bola Tinubu has said that Nigeria will emerge stronger amid recent threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. He recently revealed that the matter will be handled with the seriousness it deserves, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Speaking following a routine meeting with the Nigerian leader at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, shared that BAT remains calm amid the genocide allegations.
According to him, the president is currently deploying a multi-pronged strategy to address Washington’s concerns through dialogue, coordination and transparency.
He stated that the Federal Government will keep prioritizing constructive engagement over inflammatory rhetoric, adding that new communication channels have been established with international organizations to deepen understanding of Nigeria’s reforms.
”Of course, the issue of the U.S. threats came up, and we discussed that extensively with Mr President.
He is calm and looking for ways to ensure that the international community understands what Nigeria has been doing.
Only two weeks ago, Mr President reinvigorated the hierarchy of the Armed Forces with the appointment of new service chiefs.
These were steps already taken before the U.S. concerns, showing that he has been working assiduously to keep Nigeria safer for all,” he said.

Idris further noted that work is ongoing across relevant agencies to address domestic and international concerns through sustained dialogue.
He concluded by saying that the nation will keep committing to tolerance, security and national cohesion
”It is a multiple approach. Mr President has been meeting with religious leaders and will continue to do so because they are important stakeholders in the Nigerian project.
For us to be characterised as a country that is intolerant of religion is absolutely false.
What we have are extremists trying to divide the country. Nigerians must look deeper and reflect on our unity.
This is not the time for division or rhetoric but a time for nation-building.
Mr President is calm and taking the issue seriously. All relevant authorities are addressing it with the depth it requires, and we believe Nigeria will come out stronger,” he added.
