President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on Tuesday described the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration as the most Christian-friendly government since the creation of Nigeria.
Speaking at a public function to formally receive Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Jos Polo Ground, Akpabio said the President had demonstrated this commitment through both actions and deeds.
A statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, quoted Akpabio as saying, “Let me place on record that the Bola Tinubu-led administration is the most Christian-friendly administration since the creation of Nigeria. He has shown this through his actions and deeds. He treats both Christians and Muslims equally.”
The Senate President congratulated Governor Mutfwang for bringing the people of Plateau to the centre of Nigeria’s political gravity, saying, “Mr. Governor, I congratulate you on this action of taking the people of Plateau to the centre of national politics. Let me assure you that insecurity will soon come to an end in Plateau.
“We will support your government in all sectors in order to better the lives of your people. We will not leave you alone. Today’s action has finally brought all the states in the North Central geo-political zone into the party. This is significant. Government will do everything within its powers to protect Nigerians, no matter their religious inclination or belief. We will support President Tinubu through the approval of funds in order to shut down all IDP camps in the country.”
In his address, Governor Mutfwang thanked all those who ensured the success of the event, particularly acknowledging the efforts of Senator Akpabio.
“Today’s movement is a landmark. It is a statement that the people of Plateau have made, and they are here in their thousands to publicly declare their support for the APC and to return President Tinubu to office in 2027. We are beginning a journey that our forefathers had long envisioned, uniting us for peace and development,” he said.
