The Special Adviser to the President Bola tinubu on Policy Communication, Sunday Dare, on Monday reaffirmed his principal’s commitment to tackling insecurity and promoting peaceful coexistence among Nigerians, describing him as a leader determined to end terrorism and rebuild national unity.
Dare’s remarks come ahead of a long-anticipated meeting between President Tinubu and his United States counterpart, Donald Trump, over allegations of a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria.
The presidential aide, who stated this in a post shared on X on Tuesday, also commending Tinubu’s focus on peace building and harmony.
According to Dare, Nigeria is fortunate to have a President with the resolve and experience to lead the fight against terrorism and insecurity.
“Nigeria is now blessed with a President that is committed to ending the scourge of terror and insecurity.
“One who embodies the essential Nigerian story of peaceful faith relations.
“President Bola Tinubu is ready and steadfast in the pursuit of collaborations to advance religious peace and tolerance, better economic ties, and building a resilient country,” he wrote.
The presidential aide further emphasised that Nigeria’s diversity should remain a source of strength, not division, noting that shared experiences have bound citizens together across faiths.
“While our faiths will continue to differ; our destinies do not. Nigeria is not a land of persecution; it is a land of opportunities.
“It is a land of shared grief and shared hope — where Christians and Muslims have suffered together.
“They will rebuild together, and will, by God’s grace, continue to rise together,” Dare said.
Recall that Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, had earlier disclosed the planned meeting in a post on X, noting that discussions would centre on counterterrorism cooperation and correcting misconceptions about the nature of attacks in Nigeria.
