Christians are safe under Tinubu – NCPC leader

Rev. Yakubu Pam, the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC), has expressed his satisfaction with President Bola Tinubu's actions since assuming office, noting that they have alleviated concerns of persecution among Christians in the country.

Speaking to journalists in Abuja over the weekend, Rev. Pam commended the federal government for providing "excellent support" to the NCPC, which serves as Nigeria's sole facilitator of Christian pilgrimages.

He revealed that they had recently briefed President Tinubu on the activities and objectives of the NCPC, including plans for Christian pilgrimages to destinations such as Israel, Rome, Jordan, and Greece.

Rev. Pam emphasised the significance of these pilgrimages, which offer hundreds of Christians the opportunity for prayer retreats. He expressed immense gratitude for the unwavering support received from the current administration.

While addressing concerns about disinformation spread by opposition politicians, Rev. Pam urged Nigerians to rally behind President Tinubu's administration in order to achieve substantial progress for the nation.

He pointed out that during the recent election season, some politicians had incited dangerous sentiments and apprehensions by alleging that Nigeria was on the verge of religious conversion. However, he expressed relief that the current administration embraces religious diversity and inclusivity.
