The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has addressed recent claims of targeted religious violence in Nigeria.
In a statement via his X on Monday, he emphasised the government’s commitment to tackling insecurity under President Tinubu’s leadership.
In his statement, Idris wrote, “We are not denying or asking for denial of Nigeria’s security challenges—which we, under President Tinubu’s leadership, are dealing with boldly and decisively!”
He further called for recognition of Nigeria’s diverse religious makeup, adding, “Instead we are asking to be fully understood and respected as a multi-religious country that is united against terrorism, banditry, extremism and other forms of insecurity.”
