Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on information and strategy to President Bola Tinubu, says the Nigerian leader is “well ahead of the orchestrated game unfolding in America”.
On Friday, US President Donald Trump redesignated Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” over claims of Christian genocide in the country.
Hours later, Trump threatened that the “USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country ‘guns-a-blazing’, to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists killing Christians”.

A handful of right-wing US lawmakers, led by Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas, have repeatedly stated that Christians are facing persecution in Nigeria.

In a post on X, Onanuga said Tinubu had taken decisive steps by implementing sweeping changes in the nation’s military leadership and setting clear expectations for them.
“President Bola Tinubu was well ahead of the orchestrated game unfolding in America as he told the new service chiefs on Thursday what Nigerians expect of them. No more excuses, he said. Nigerians want results,” Onanuga wrote.
