The Peoples Democratic Party has faulted the Bola Tinubu administration over how information about United States military strikes in northwest Nigeria reached the public.

The criticism followed reports that US forces carried out coordinated attacks on terrorist targets linked to ISIS in parts of Sokoto State, with details first coming from Washington rather than Nigerian authorities.
The PDP said Nigerians deserved to hear about such a serious security development directly from their own government, not through statements credited to former US President Donald Trump and American military sources.

The opposition party argued that the delay and lack of clarity from official Nigerian channels raised concerns about transparency, accountability, and respect for citizens during sensitive national security operations.
It added that timely and clear communication helps to build public trust, prevent panic, and show that the government is in control of events affecting lives and national sovereignty.
The PDP called on the federal government to improve its approach to crisis communication, stressing that Nigerians must not be left in the dark when foreign forces operate within the country, especially on matters tied to security and safety.
