BREAKING: Diplomatical engagement with the World ongoing, We will defeat terrorism – Tinubu responds to Trump
President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to defeating terrorism and building a secure, prosperous Nigeria despite what he described as ongoing “political headwinds.”
The president made the remark on Thursday after receiving an economic briefing from the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Tinubu emphasized that his government remains resolute in safeguarding national security and stability while pursuing policies that promote growth and development.
He added that Nigeria will continue to strengthen its diplomatic engagements with the international community to achieve lasting peace and progress.
“Despite the political headwinds and
the fear of our people, we continue to engage our partners,” Tinubu said.
“We are engaging the world diplomatically. I assure you all that we will defeat terrorism.
“The task ahead is to move forward with clarity of purpose guided by the Renewed Hope agenda to build a prosperous Nigeria.”
Tinubu’s comment comes amid the recent threat issued by US President Donald Trump’s threat of military action on Nigeria over alleged killing of Christians.
On Saturday, Trump asked the US department of war to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria.
Trump had redesignated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” over alleged killing of Christian in the country.
Prior to Trump’s comments, some US lawmakers had asked Marco Rubio, secretary of state, to take decisive diplomatic action against the Nigerian government over what they described as the “systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians”.
The federal government has, however, refuted claims of religious killings in the country.
