The Allied People’s Movement has accused the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government of misleading Nigerians by portraying a letter from United States President Donald Trump as an endorsement of its performance in the fight against terrorism.
The party argued that Trump merely acknowledged President Tinubu’s resolve and commitment to tackling insecurity, not any concrete achievement in the fight against terrorism.
APM National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, challenged the Presidency to identify any portion of Trump’s letter that commended Tinubu for tangible results in addressing terrorism.
The Presidency had on Wednesday announced that Trump wrote personally to Tinubu to commend his administration’s security efforts.
According to a statement by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Trump also said the United States had deployed Special Operations Forces, including Navy SEAL Team 6, to train and support the Nigerian military in combating terrorism.
