The Presidency has reiterated the commitment of president Bola Tinubu to religious neutrality and national unity.
It stated this on Sunday when the Nigerian leader arrived in the Vatican to attend the official Mass marking the beginning of the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, in a statement posted on his verified X, stressed that Tinubu remains unbiased in his dealings with all faith groups.
“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.
According to him, the President’s visit to the Vatican, where he was joined by four senior Nigerian clergymen, reflects his inclusive leadership and commitment to serving all citizens equally.
“President Tinubu is purposed to serve all citizens irrespective. His visit to the Vatican alongside four top clergymen resonates clearly in this direction,” the presidential aide stated.
