President Bola Tinubu has advised Nigerians to stay in peace and unity regardless of religious variations, stressing that belief must be a pressure for togetherness, now not division.

“nobody determines what God has ordained. God’s ordained motion and his prophecies are what matter,” the president said.

Tinubu shared a private reflection on interfaith harmony within his domestic, noting that even though he is a Muslim, his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, is a Christian pastor, yet their differing beliefs have never brought about struggle.

“I inherited Islam from my family. I didn’t exchange. however my spouse is a pastor. She prays for me. No combat. and that i by no means did, at any single time, try to persuade her or convert her,” he said.

The president delivered that his marriage exemplifies the harmony Nigeria can obtain when residents attention on shared values and mutual appreciate.

“I agree with within the freedom of religion. we’re praying to the same God. we’re answerable to the same Almighty God. we can answer to Him. Our deeds, our man or woman, and our love for our fellow beings are what absolutely rely — no longer the method or trust of our being,” Tinubu said.

Tinubu also paid tribute to the late Lydia Yilwatda, describing her as a lady of belief, carrier, and dedication, whilst praying for her non violent repose.
