Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended Christmas greetings to Christians in Nigeria and across the world, while reaffirming his commitment to religious freedom and peaceful coexistence in the country. In a message shared on X, the president thanked God for the opportunity to serve and prayed for peace among Nigerians of different religious beliefs. On this Holy day, I wish all Christians in Nigeria and around the world a Merry Christmas. I thank God for the opportunity to serve as the leader of our great country, and I pray for peace in our land, especially between individuals of differing religious beliefs. I stand committed to doing everything within my power to enshrine religious freedom in Nigeria and to protect Christians, Muslims, and all Nigerians from violence. Tinubu tagged several local handles in the post, including that of former United States president Donald Trump. The post comes amid renewed international attention on Nigerias security and religious tensions, following recent claims by Trump alleging a Christian genocide in the country. Nigerian authorities have consistently rejected such characterisations, maintaining that insecurity in the country affects people of all faiths. Tinubus message was accompanied by excerpts from his 2025 Christmas goodwill message, in which he urged Nigerians to embrace peace, patience, and unity during the festive season.
