“Nigeria does not engage in religious freedom violation or religious persecution – Lai Mohammed replies U.S Govt
The Federal Government has denied allegations by the United States of engaging in systematic and egregious religious freedom violations.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said Nigeria did not have a policy of religious persecution.
The minister described the allegation as a case of an honest disagreement between the two nations on the causes of violence in Nigeria.
“Nigeria does not engage in religious freedom violation, neither does it have a policy of religious persecution.
“Victims of insecurity and terrorism in the country are adherents of Christianity, Islam, and other religions,’’ he said.
Mohammed said Nigeria jealously protects religious freedom as enshrined in the country’s constitution and takes seriously any infringements in this regard.
The U.S., reportedly on Monday placed Nigeria on a religious freedom blacklist.
When you are handling the issue that needed urgent attention with negligence, why won’t the US place you among those that were blacklist on religious freedom?
It is left to you to proof to them that you are not religious bigotry once you can do that, they will remove your name it’s by doing not by mere saying.
A case study of southern kaduna where we have majority of Christianity and the bandits, violence etc dominate the place and people were being slaughtered and you don’t do anything about it. What would they call that?
If any international community alleged you on any issues based on the betterment of the country, you ought to have known that you didn’t do well because if you do, they won’t have said that. What you need is to amend not changing of words.
But that is what this administration has embarked on since they came into power…..
There is nothing that Lai Muhamed says that I care to listen to because he is always lying
He is always saying thugs to please his master
