Dear honorable minister, for the sake of integrity - you should not be speaking on this issue. Let the victims speak. Mothers that lost their sons, sons that lost their parents - they should be the ones to tell this story. You are biased.

Hon. Minister, The effort you all put in disputing the claim, is all what we're clamouring from government to address the rampant attacks going on in Northern Nigeria daily
@Victorcrown17
Great job, Honorable Minister on representing Nigeria with such clarity and integrity on Your call for the full unedited interview to be aired is a bold step toward ensuring the truth about Nigeria’s commitment to religious freedom is heard. Well done for countering misleading narratives with verifiable data your diplomatic effort is truly
