 Presidency: Niger Republic’s Allegations Seek to Incite Northerners Against Tinubu  


The Presidency has dismissed claims by Niger Republic’s military leader, Abdourahamane Tchiani, accusing Nigeria of colluding with France to destabilize Niger, describing them as baseless propaganda.  


Key Points from the Presidency’s Response:  

- Propaganda Allegations:

  Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, labeled Tchiani’s statements as an attempt to incite Northern Nigerians against Tinubu.  

- Language Choice:

  Tchiani, speaking in Hausa, alleged France was working with terrorists in Nigeria and had paid Tinubu to establish a military base.  

- Government Reaction:

  Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, dismissed the claims as unfounded and without evidence.  


Bwala’s Counterstatement:  

- Bwala described the accusations as a “desperate propaganda piece” aimed at deflecting from Niger’s internal challenges under military rule.  

- He criticized the choice of inflammatory language and suggested possible collaboration with Nigerian politicians to stir unrest.  

- “The whole idea is to create chaos and bad blood in Northern Nigeria against the President,” Bwala emphasized.  


Nigeria’s Commitment:  

Bwala reaffirmed Nigeria’s longstanding leadership in West Africa and its dedication to fostering peace and bilateral relations with neighboring nations.
