The Federal Government has repudiated claims by the Northern Christian Elders Forum, that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was practicing bigotry and alienating Christians.
The response by the Nigerian Government is contained in a letter to the British Parliamentary Group, signed by Nigeria’s High Commissioner to UK, George Adetola Oguntade.
Two letters were addressed to a former Secretary of the Church Missionary Society and now Head, Reverend Philip Moun-stephen, Independent Review of Foreign and Commonwealth Office Support of Persecuted Christians.
In the responds, the Nigerian government dismissed as inconceivable and out rightly false allusions to the effect that the Boko Haram terrorism served a government agenda against Christians.
Responding to the interim report on Foreign and Commonwealth Office Support for Persecuted Christians, Oguntade, a retired Justice of the Supreme Court, told Reverend Moun-stephen said the safety and security of all Nigerians, whatever their faith, is a fundamental priority of the Buhari Government.
