Tinubu Dismisses Claims of Christian Persecution in Nigeria as “Lie from the Pit of Hell”.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has rejected allegations of religious persecution in Nigeria, describing them as a “lie from the pit of hell.”
Tinubu made the remark on Tuesday during the inauguration of projects and the launch of Governor Hope Uzodimma’s book in Imo State.
“They l+e all over the place that we have religious persecution. Our Muslim brothers and sisters, our Christian brothers and sisters are united. No religious persecution in Nigeria, it is a lie from the pit of hell,” he said.
His statement came in response to recent claims by American comedian and political commentator, Bill Maher, who accused Nigeria of committing genocide against its Christian population.
Maher alleged that over 100,000 Christians have been killed since 2009, 18,000 churches burned, and described the situation as “a systematic attempt to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country.” He also criticised the Nigerian media for failing to adequately report the violence.
“If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources suck. You are in a bubble. I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria… This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza,” Maher said.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has dismissed Maher’s claims, stressing that the country’s security challenges should not be misrepresented as religious persecution.
According to him, such assertions amount to a grass distortion of reality.
