In a startling diplomatic twist, the Nigerian government has accused the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of being behind recent reports that allegedly influenced former U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of possible military action against Nigeria.
Speaking during an interview on Russia National TV on Tuesday, Daniel Bwala, an aide to President Bola Tinubu, urged Trump to respect Nigeria’s sovereignty and desist from any plans to deploy American troops to the country.
Bwala described the allegations of Christian persecution in Nigeria as a “false narrative” pushed by separatist groups and their international sympathisers to discredit the Tinubu administration.
“We try our best to downplay the rhetoric because we know for sure that that can be the reflection of the realities on ground,” he said.
According to Bwala, U.S. senators such as Ted Cruz had been “misled by IPOB sympathisers” who deliberately manipulated data and reports to influence Washington’s foreign policy.
