President Bola Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, has criticised U.S. Congressman Riley Moore over his recent comments alleging persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
Riley Moore made a series of posts on Monday, where he described Nigeria as “the deadliest country in the world for Christians.”
Moore further alleged that “some state and federal officials” in Nigeria were complicit in attacks on Christians and cited instances of anti-blasphemy laws being enforced.
However, in a post on X, this Tuesday, Dada, called the U.S. lawmaker “ignorant” about Nigeria’s religious realities.
Dada says Nigeria is a proud, sovereign nation built on the faith and resilience of its people, stressing that no faith is under siege and no community is excluded.
Dada also said the churches, mosques, and traditional shrines in Nigeria stand side by side — not as rivals, but as symbols of the unity that binds the citizens.
