The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said the US president cannot use old information to judge the Nigerian government.

Bwala stated this on Monday, while responding to questions in an interview on TVC news, in reaction to the recent declaration of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern by President Trump.

“Barely three months ago, the American government commended Nigeria for the arrest of Usman Mohammed, also known as Khalid Al-Barnawi, leader of the Ansaru terrorist group and one of the most wanted terrorists in the world.

“The US Embassy in Nigeria equally praised our government’s remarkable progress in the fight against terrorism.

“How then can the same government that acknowledged our success just months ago now take a contradictory position based on outdated reports and past events?

“You cannot use obsolete information to judge an administration that has demonstrated clear commitment and tangible results in securing our nation,” he said.
