Tinubu has shown excellent support for Christians, NCPC says

The Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) says President Bola Tinubu’s administration runs an inclusive government for the national interest of all Nigerians.
In a statement on Monday, Pam Yakubu, the executive secretary of the NCPC, praised Mr Tinubu for calming tensions following concerns about the same-faith ticket ahead of the presidential elections.
“Many will recall that during the electioneering period a few months ago, some politicians stirred up dangerous sentiments and apprehensions by alleging that Nigeria was about to be converted to one religion but we thank God that this administration embraces all,” he stated.
While assessing the president’s first 100 days in office, Mr Pam, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) North-Central Zone chairman, thanked Mr Tinubu’s administration for supporting NCPC, Nigeria’s sole facilitator of Christian pilgrimage.
He also mentioned the aggressive use of disinformation and misinformation against Nigeria’s political leadership as a potent threat against democracy, unity and peace.
Pointing out that Nigeria faces numerous challenges in its bid to actualise genuine populist developmental goals of the current administration, he emphasised that Nigeria’s politicians and their supporters must rise above dangerous propaganda and disseminate mischievous information that threatens national unity, peace, and progress.
Mr Pam had, over the weekend, met with the president at the State House in Abuja, where he briefed Mr Tinubu on the commission’s activities ahead of pilgrimages to Israel, Rome, Jordan, and Greece.
