Nigeria's Presidency Rejects U.S. Allegations of Religious Persecution, Reaffirms Constitutional Commitment to Religious Freedom

Compiled By Televangelist HB Morgan

In a firm and principled response to recent allegations, the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has categorically rejected claims of religious intolerance and the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, asserting the nation's foundational commitment to religious liberty for all citizens.

The statement, addressing concerns raised by the United States government, positioned Nigeria as a vibrant democracy anchored by constitutional guarantees that protect the rights of all faiths. It emphasized that the characterization of Nigeria as religiously intolerant is a profound misrepresentation of the nation's reality, failing to account for the government's sustained and sincere efforts to ensure the safety and freedom of belief for every Nigerian.

"Our administration has maintained an open and active engagement with both Christian and Muslim leaders since 2023," the response outlined, highlighting a policy of inclusive dialogue aimed at tackling the complex security challenges that impact citizens across all regions and religious communities. The government stressed that religious freedom and tolerance are not merely policies but core tenets of the nation's collective identity, firmly stating that "Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it."

Reaffirming the constitutional bedrock upon which the nation is built, the administration guaranteed the right of every individual—irrespective of faith—to practice their religion without fear or intimidation. Looking forward, the statement concluded with a commitment to international cooperation, expressing a dedicated intent to "work with the United States government and the international community to deepen understanding and cooperation on the protection of communities of all faiths." This collaborative path, rooted in dialogue, is presented as Nigeria's unwavering strategy to promote lasting peace, stability, and religious harmony within its borders and beyond.
