Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Information and Strategy, has responded to recent comments made by United States Envoy to Africa, Massad Boulos. Onanuga reacted via his official X account on Friday, October 17, 2025, addressing Boulos’s statement concerning alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.
The discussion stems from a viral video posted by NTA. In the clip, Massad Boulos challenges the narrative that Christians are being systematically targeted in Nigeria. Boulos stated that Boko Haram terrorists have actually killed more Muslims than Christians, countering the widespread claims.
US Envoy Counters Genocide Narrative
Reacting to the envoy’s remarks, Bayo Onanuga affirmed that Boulos had addressed a significant disinformation campaign. Onanuga highlighted that the US official directly countered allegations promoted by figures such as Senator Ted Cruz. Onanuga shared the video on his X account with the caption: “President Trump’s senior envoy to Africa, Massad Boulos, speaks on the disinformation campaign by Senator Ted Cruz and others, alleging Christian genocide in Nigeria.”
This statement reinforces the Nigerian government’s position against the alleged Christian genocide narrative. The administration continues to challenge international voices it accuses of spreading false claims about the nation’s security situation. The engagement from a senior US diplomat provides a counterpoint to the ongoing discourse, emphasizing the complex realities of violence affecting all communities in Nigeria.
