Presidency Denies Report of Tinubu’s Planned Meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance

The Presidency has firmly dismissed reports claiming that President Bola Tinubu is planning to travel to the United States to meet with American Vice President J.D. Vance.

In a statement released on Monday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, described the reports as “false and misleading,” stressing that no such meeting has been scheduled.

Ajayi clarified that if President Tinubu were to visit Washington, the meeting would be with US President Donald Trump, not Vice President Vance. He cautioned against the spread of unverified information, urging the public to rely on official government communication channels for accurate updates on the President’s engagements.

The clarification follows recent speculation about a proposed meeting between Tinubu and Trump, reportedly to discuss security issues and concerns over the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

Reacting to these claims, the Presidency reaffirmed Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to religious freedom and tolerance. Ajayi noted that President Tinubu continues to uphold the constitutional guarantees that protect citizens of all faiths.

The Nigerian government, he added, is also strengthening partnerships with international allies to promote understanding, peace, and the protection of religious communities across the country.
