Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu, on Friday said he won’t be a religious bigot in addressing the security challenges bedeviling the country.

In a statement by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, the President said this when receiving the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, at the State House in Abuja.

“This insecurity, everyone is affected, Christians, Muslims alike. I have no religious bias; I won’t be a bigot. My wife is a pastor of Redeemed Christian Church.

“But we have to think of our country; this country must develop and must stand beyond religious bigotry. And I’m here open to you, ready to listen. We’ve been together for some time. We have an open-door policy. I will not shut my door,” he said.

The President, amid the hardship plaguing the country, assured Nigerians of hope, reiterating his commitment to running a government that listens to the needs of Nigerians.

He told the bishops that he made a tough decision upon assuming office in 2023 by removing subsidy on petroleum products.

Tinubu emphasized the competition among operators in the petroleum sector, the bountiful harvest enjoyed by farmers, and the lower prices of commodities, adding that investments are flowing into the country.

He also bemoaned the situation in the country, lamenting that it affects everyone including Christians and Muslims.

According to him, the security agencies were already curtailing the nation’s insecurity, stressing that adherents of all religions felt the impact of the efforts.
