The President explained that while Nigeria has faced challenges of insecurity, banditry, and terrorism, these issues are not religiously motivated. He stressed that extremists who cause violence do not represent any faith, and his government is working tirelessly to promote unity and peace across communities.

Tinubu further urged religious leaders to preach tolerance and understanding, noting that Nigeria’s strength lies in its cultural and religious diversity. He assured Nigerians that his government will continue to protect the rights of all groups to practice their beliefs freely without fear or discrimination.
