No religious persecution in Nigeria – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has categorically denied any deliberate religious persecution in Nigeria.

He stated this on Tuesday in Owerri, the Imo State capital, at the book launch on “A decade of Impactful Progressive Governance in Nigeria authored by Governor Hope Uzodimma.

Tinubu insisted there is religious tolerance in Nigeria and Christians and Muslims were coexisting well.

The president asserted that the talk of persecution in the country is false and unfounded.
“It’s a lie”, he said.

Report says that American talk show host Bill Maher had claimed that Christians are being systematically killed in Nigeria.

Maher, in a viral clip from his show Real Time with Bill Maher, alleged that up to 500,000 Christians had been killed in the country, describing the situation as genocide.

The video was circulated by international influencers, including Radio Genoa, an anti-Islamic personality on X.
