President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that no faith group in the country is under attack, dismissing claims of religious persecution.
He made the statement during a visit to Owerri, the Imo State capital, where he addressed concerns over national unity.
The president explained that Nigeria was built on the resilience of its people and the shared values that connect them. He noted that different places of worship across the country coexist side by side, serving as reminders of harmony rather than conflict.
Tinubu urged citizens to remain vigilant against those who attempt to create division. He said Nigeria’s strength lies in its diversity and that outsiders should not be allowed to dictate the country’s identity or sow mistrust among its people.
During his remarks, he stressed that no community has been left out of the Nigerian project. He pointed to the coexistence of churches, mosques, and traditional shrines as evidence of the nation’s spirit of tolerance and togetherness.
The president maintained that the task ahead is to protect this unity and ensure it continues to guide the country’s future. He called on Nigerians to stand together as one people regardless of their different backgrounds or beliefs.
