President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has lauded the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the most Christian-friendly government in Nigeria since the nation’s creation.
Akpabio made the declaration during a reception rally held to formally welcome Governor Caleb Mutfwang into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Jos Polo Ground on Tuesday.
According to a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, the Senate President said, “Let me place on record that the President 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.”
Akpabio also praised Governor Mutfwang for positioning the people of Plateau State at the heart of national politics. “Mr Governor, I congratulate you for 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 to better the lives of your people. You will not be left alone. Today’s action has finally brought all the states in the North Central geo-political zone into the party. This is significant,” he said.
He further emphasized the government’s commitment to protecting Nigerians regardless of their religious beliefs. “Government will do everything within its powers to safeguard Nigerians, and we will support President Tinubu through the approval of funds to shut down all IDP camps across the country,” Akpabio added.
In his address, Governor Mutfwang expressed gratitude to all those who made the event possible, particularly Senator Akpabio. “Today’s movement is a landmark. It is a statement that the people of Plateau 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 long expected—unity for peace and development,” he said.
