The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has warned the United States against using old data to judge the Nigerian government.
Bwala stated this on Monday while reacting to United States President Donald Trump’s threat of a military strike in Nigeria over alleged Christian genocide.
Responding to questions during an appearance on TVC news, Bwala pointed out that the United States recently commended Nigeria for the arrest of a terrorist, Usman Mohammed and wondered why the government has decided to take a different stance on Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.
The presidential aide asserted that it was not proper to judge the incumbent administration on information that was already obsolete.
He said, “Barely three months ago, the American government commended Nigeria for the arrest of Usman Mohammed, also known as Khalid Al-Barnawi, leader of the Ansaru terrorist group and one of the most wanted terrorists in the world.
“The US Embassy in Nigeria equally praised our government’s remarkable progress in the fight against terrorism.
“How then can the same government that acknowledged our success just months ago now take a contradictory position based on outdated reports and past events?
“You cannot use obsolete information to judge an administration that has demonstrated clear commitment and tangible results in securing our nation.”
