I won’t be a bigot in addressing security challenges in the country, my wife is a Pastor in RCCG – Tinubu tells Catholic Bishops
President Bola Tinubu on Friday said he won’t be a religious bigot in addressing the security challenges in the country.
Bayo Onanuga, presidential spokesman quoted the president as saying, when the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) visited him on Friday at the State House in Abuja.
He said, “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.”
“Yes, removing the fuel subsidy was hard, tough for me, but it’s a hard choice that Nigeria must face. We are not going to bankrupt our country.
“There is hope; people are coming in to invest. They are saying good things about Nigeria. I am very proud of that. What seems to be a very difficult beginning is now showing us hope. And we are not half-time yet. I’m happy to see this period alive and healthy, and I am thankful to all of you for your prayers,” he added.
