The presidency has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains fully committed to religious neutrality and national unity.
The declaration was made as the Nigerian leader arrived in the Vatican on Sunday to attend the official Mass marking the beginning of the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV.
In a statement shared on his verified X handle, @SundayDareSD, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, stated that President Tinubu is unbiased in his dealings with all faith communities.
“President Tinubu leads a multi-religious nation and remains unbiased against any. His creed: though tribe, tongue and religion may differ, in nationhood we stand — united,” Dare wrote.
The presidential aide said the President’s visit to the Vatican, accompanied by four senior Nigerian clergymen, reflects his inclusive leadership style and his commitment to serving all Nigerians regardless of religious affiliation.
“President Tinubu is purposed to serve all citizens irrespective. His visit to the Vatican alongside four top clergymen resonates clearly in this direction,” Dare added.
