President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has vowed to engage the government of the United States of America over Christian genocide claim in the Nigeria.
The US had designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern over an “unfounded” claim of targeting Christian in the country.

The government said that terrorists are targeting individuals in Nigeria irrespective of religion.

However, in a statement, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, the Spokesperson of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government said that Nigeria noted the development, saying the Tinubu admistration is committed to religious rights in the country.
The statement reads, “The Federal Government of Nigeria notes the recent remarks by U.S. President Donald J. Trump alleging large-scale killings of Christians in Nigeria and calling for the country’s designation as a “Country of Particular Concern.”
“While Nigeria appreciates global concern for human rights and religious freedom, these claims do not reflect the situation on the ground. Nigerians of all faiths have long lived, worked, and worshipped together peacefully.
“Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria remains committed to fighting terrorism, strengthening interfaith harmony, and protecting the lives and rights of all its people.
“Nigeria will continue to engage constructively with the Government of the United States to deepen mutual understanding of regional dynamics and the country’s ongoing peace and security efforts.”
