President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Sunday held a private meeting with the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, in Paris, where both leaders discussed global developments and Africa’s future.
Naijaonpoint reports that the meeting, which took place over a private lunch in the French capital, was disclosed by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a post shared on his Facebook page on Sunday.
According to Onanuga, discussions during the meeting centred on world affairs, Africa’s position in the evolving global order, and shared perspectives on issues affecting the continent’s development.
The engagement underscores President Tinubu’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to strengthen bilateral and multilateral relations with African leaders, as well as promote unity and collaboration aimed at advancing Africa’s interests on the global stage.
Meanwhile, Tinubu has directed the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) to track down and apprehend the perpetrators of the Kasuwan Daji attack, ensuring they are swiftly brought to justice.
He also directed security agencies to rescue all the abducted victims urgently.
President Tinubu issued the directives on Sunday in response to the recent killings of villagers in Niger State by terrorists suspected to be fleeing from Sokoto and Zamfara following the United States’ air strike on Christmas Eve.
The President strongly condemned the attack on the Kasuwan Daji Community and the abduction of women and children.
He sent his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, as well as to the Government and people of Niger State.
“These terrorists have tested the resolve of our country and its people. They must, therefore, face the full consequences of their criminal actions. No matter who they are or what their intent is, they must be hunted down. They, and all those who aid, abet, or enable them in any form, will be caught and brought to justice,” the President declared.
