President Bola Tinubu Advocates for National Unity During Meeting with Catholic Bishops
In a recent meeting with the leadership of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) in Abuja, President Bola Tinubu called for a united Nigeria, emphasizing the need to rise above religious and ethnic divides for sustainable development. The gathering, led by CBCN President Archbishop Lucius Ugorji, tackled pressing national issues, including economic reforms, security challenges, and the importance of religious tolerance.
“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. We were spending the investment of the future of our children yet unborn; We were spending their rights, and poverty has no religious basis. There’s no religious colouration, no identity. It affects all, and we must fight it together.
“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.” -President Tinubu At Audience With Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria
