Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), says allegations that Christians are being targeted and killed in Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu’s administration are politically motivated.
Wike spoke on Monday during an interview on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, describing the genocide claim as “politics taken too far.”
“It is an indictment that a government I am serving—anybody will allege that that government is supporting genocide, killing of Christians, and I am still in that government,” he said.
“This is politics taken too far. The inspector-general of police is a Christian, the director-general of the Department of State Services is a Christian, and the chief of defence staff is a Christian.
