Daniel Bwala, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, asserted that any military action by the United States in Nigeria without permission would be diplomatically unacceptable.

In a Monday interview with BBC World Service, Bwala made this claim.

Nigeria is a sovereign country, he emphasized, and any foreign involvement in its internal security matters must be cooperative and considerate of its territorial integrity.

Following US President Donald Trump’s designation of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” due to the alleged persecution of Christians, Bwala made these remarks.

Trump also threatened to send America’s “Department of War” against terrorist groups he claimed were targeting Christians in Nigeria.

“If it’s a joint operation with Nigeria, that’s acceptable,” Bwala said.

“But diplomatically, it is wrong to invade a sovereign nation without collaboration—especially one that remains a strategic partner in the fight against insecurity.

“Unilateral intervention only happens when there is evidence that a government is complicit in a crisis. That is certainly not the case in Nigeria,” he said.
