Christians in Borno State Warned Not to Be Fooled by Governor Zulum’s Rhetoric on Religious Tolerance An opinion piece by Ishaya Malgwi warns Christians in Borno State against being swayed by Governor Babagana Umara Zulum’s public gestures promoting religious tolerance. Despite claims of harmony, Christians continue to face systemic marginalization under Zulum’s administration, including denial of Christian Religious Knowledge in schools, political exclusion, neglect of displaced persons, and restrictions on NGO aid in Christian communities. The article stresses that symbolic acts like sponsoring pilgrimages or visiting Christian refugees cannot substitute for meaningful policy changes. Advocates call for equal access to education, fair resettlement of displaced Christians, political representation, prompt payment of pensions, and unhindered humanitarian assistance. #BornoState #ChristianRights #ReligiousTolerance #GovernorZulum #NigeriaPolitics #HumanRights #ReligiousFreedom #IDPs #SocialJustice #NigeriaNews
