Alleged genocide : Tinubu already aware of ‘game plan’ from US – Onanuga

President Bola Tinubu is said to be “well ahead of the orchestrated game unfolding in America,” according to his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

Onanuga made this comment in a statement posted on X on Sunday, following remarks by former US President Donald Trump, who warned that Washington could suspend all aid to Nigeria if the government “continues to allow the killing of Christians.” Trump also revealed that he had directed the newly renamed Department of War to “prepare for possible action.”

Responding, Onanuga said President Tinubu had already taken proactive measures to strengthen national security, including appointing new military chiefs and clearly outlining performance expectations.

“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 stated.

During his address to the service chiefs, Tinubu urged them to approach their duties with patriotism, creativity, and courage, stressing the importance of technological innovation in combating emerging threats.

“Security threats are constantly evolving, constantly mutating. Of grave concern to our administration is the recent emergence of new armed groups in the North-Central, North-West, and parts of the South,” the president had said.“We must not allow these new threats to fester. We must be decisive and proactive. Let us smash the new snakes right in the head.”
