The Federal Government has disclosed that it is holding talks with the United States over the recent military threat by President Donald Trump.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation,
Mohammed Idris, made this disclosure in an interview on Sky News.
According to the minister, diplomatic channels are proving
effective towards rapprochement in the tense relationship between the
government of the United States and Nigeria.
“Channels of communication have been opened. I can confirm
that we are talking with them, and I think they are understanding the situation
better.
“We believe that most of the information is a result of a
lack of a proper understanding of the diversity and complexity of the problem
we have at hand,” Idris said.
He pointed out that the Nigerian government has not lost any
territory to the Boko Haram terrorists, insisting that the war against
insurgency is not conventional warfare.
The minister also alleged that a direct connection exists
between a proscribed separatist element and US lobby groups aimed at
misinforming US authorities.
