Bwala links Christian genocide claims to Nigeria’s UN stance on Israel-Palestine conflict

Christian Genocide Claims in Nigeria Linked to UN Stance on Israel-Palestine Conflict

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, has suggested that claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria are a response to the country's diplomatic position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Speaking to France24 TV, Bwala stated that the narrative was influenced by Nigeria's statement at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), delivered by Vice-President Kashim Shettima.

Twenty-four hours after Nigeria condemned the inhumane treatment in Gaza and advocated for a two-state solution, this comedian, Bill Maher, started this campaign of Christian genocide.

Bwala's statement implies a connection between Nigeria's UN stance and the subsequent claims of Christian genocide.
