Proof of our progress, Tinubu’s aide reacts to Trump’s letter

The Presidency has described United States President Donald Trump’s commendation of President Bola Tinubu as further proof of the progress being recorded by the current administration.

n

Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, stated this on Wednesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, while reacting to Trump’s letter to Tinubu.

n

Trump’s letter, dated July 6, 2026, was made public on Wednesday after the Presidency released its details.

n

In it, the US President commended Tinubu’s “decisive leadership” in tackling terrorism and insecurity in Nigeria, particularly attacks on Christian communities, while reaffirming America’s commitment to supporting Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.

n

Reacting to the letter, Bwala said the recognition from the US President offered additional evidence of the administration’s progress.

n

“Fact speaks for itself. That’s what it is. The letter is further proof of the progress we are making.

n

“Does it mean if there was no letter, we will stop? No. Because we are already engaging and communicating with them.

n

“If you are in a relationship with a lady, and then because of the relationship, you write a letter encouraging her, or she writes a letter encouraging you, then you feel further strengthened but it does not stop your commitment.”
