Tinubu Tells UK PM Starmer That Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger And Climate Change Are Responsible For Terrorism In Nigeria (VIDEO)
Bola Ahmed Tinubu has blamed terrorism in Nigeria on the Sahel countries, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger as well as effects of climate change.
Speaking during a meeting with United Kingdom Prime Minister, Keir Starmer Tinubu said terrorism in Nigeria arises from these neighboring countries, where insecurity and crises allow extremist groups to operate across borders.

“What we are facing is not a small challenge. Currently the entire world is challenged,” Tinubu said at the top of their meeting.
“Nigeria is not immune, Britain is not immune,” Tinubu added, noting that Nigeria was “challenged by terrorism” and the “conflict from climate change”.
Tinubu arrived in Britain on Tuesday, a day after suspected suicide bombings killed at least 23 people in northeastern Nigeria.
The west African nation has been roiled by a jihadist insurgency since 2009, which US President Donald Trump has claimed amounts to a “genocide” of Christians — sparking a diplomatic crisis between Washington and Abuja, which denies the allegations.
