The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, says claims by the military leader of Niger Republic, Abdourahamane Tchiani that Nigeria is colluding with France to destabilise his county are despicable propaganda.
He declared that the claims were aimed at inciting Northern
Nigeria against President Bola Tinubu.
Bwala said the military leader deliberately chose a local
language in the North.
Recall that Abdourahamane Tchiani, military leader of Niger
Republic, made the claims in an interview on Wednesday.
Tchiani, who spoke in Hausa, alleged that France is
negotiating with terrorists in Nigeria to destabilise his country.
According to him, France made a substantial payment to
President Bola Tinubu to establish a military base in Nigeria.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation,
Mohammed Idris, shortly afterwards, dismissed the allegations and described
them as baseless.
Reacting to the allegations in a video posted on his X page
on Friday, Bwala said the claims are baseless propaganda, designed to create
chaos and incite bad blood in northern Nigeria against Tinubu.
“Yesterday I came across a video, a despicable propaganda
piece by the military head of state of the Niger Republic against the president
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and this is what you often see with
military interregnum,” he said.
“The honeymoon is over; he has not been able to address
economic situations in his country; everything is turning against him, and in
the desperate gasp for breath, he decided to resort to cheap false lies and
propaganda against Nigeria.
“The choice of words used by the military leader is quite
insultive for what his intentions are; probably in cohoot with politicians in
Nigerians; you never know.
“But the whole idea is to create chaos and bad blood in
Northern Nigeria against the President,” he added.
Bwala explained Nigeria’s longstanding leadership role in
West Africa and its commitment to fostering bilateral relations with
neighbouring countries.
