The Presidency has described Nigeria as fortunate to have President Bola Tinubu at the helm, praising him as a committed and experienced leader determined to tackle insecurity and promote peaceful coexistence throughout the nation.

Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Sunday Dare, made the remarks in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, highlighting Tinubu’s focus on peacebuilding and national unity.

According to Dare, Nigeria is blessed with a president who possesses the courage and vision to lead the fight against terrorism and insecurity.

“Nigeria is now blessed with a President who is committed to ending the scourge of terror and insecurity—one who embodies the essential Nigerian story of peaceful faith relations.

President Bola Tinubu is ready and steadfast in the pursuit of collaborations to advance religious peace and tolerance, better economic ties, and build a resilient country,” he wrote.

Dare further emphasised that Nigeria’s diversity should be regarded as a strength rather than a source of division, noting that shared experiences have united citizens across religious lines.

“While our faiths will continue to differ, our destinies do not. Nigeria is not a land of persecution; it is a land of opportunities. It is a land of shared grief and shared hope — where Christians and Muslims have suffered together. They will rebuild together, and will, by God’s grace, continue to rise together,” he added.
