•Tinubu and Trump
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today reaffirmed his administration’s determination to defeat terrorism and restore lasting peace across Nigeria, assuring citizens and international partners that the country remains steadfast in its pursuit of unity, security, and economic progress.
The president made the declaration at the Council Chamber of the State House, Abuja, shortly before presiding over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting and moments after swearing in two new ministers to join his cabinet, reports The Nation.
His statement came amid renewed global attention on Nigeria’s security situation, following the recent designation of the country as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) by United States President Donald Trump and threats of potential military action under the guise of protecting religious freedom.
Tinubu, however, struck a confident tone, stressing that his administration is engaging the world diplomatically while maintaining focus on defeating terrorism and stabilising the nation.
“The most important thing is the fact that despite the political headwind and the fear of our people, we’ll continue to engage with our partners. The success of the $2.35 billion Eurobond oversubscription is the most reassuring signal at this stage.
“The task ahead is immense. We are engaging the world diplomatically, and we assure all of you that we will defeat terrorism in this country. The task ahead is immense, but it is our resolve to move forward with unity and purpose, guided by the Renewed Hope Agenda to build a prosperous, inclusive and resilient Nigeria,” he said.
