Receiving the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) at the State House in Abuja on Friday, Tinubu emphasized that insecurity affects everyone, regardless of faith. “I have no religious bias; I won’t be a bigot,” he stated, citing his wife’s role as a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church.

Tinubu acknowledged the challenges faced by Nigerians but expressed pride in the progress made so far. “There is hope; people are coming in to invest. They are saying good things about Nigeria,” he said, thanking the bishops for their prayers.
