Vice President, Kashim Shettima, on Saturday, assured all Nigerians that their rights, regardless of their religious and ethnic beliefs, will be protected under the current administration.
Gatekeepers News reports that Shettima gave the assurance in Lagos on Saturday during a special prayer organised by the Jam’iyyatu Ansariddeen Attijaniyya of Nigeria in honour of the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
Shettima disclosed this in a statement shared on his Facebook page on Saturday.
He noted that President Tinubu is guided by the message of the day, and is committed to protecting the rights and freedom of all Nigerians, regardless of their beliefs.
Shettima stressed the importance of inclusivity and respect for religious freedom in a nation with a population of over 200 million people divided along religious and ethnic lines.

“I assured the gathering that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is guided by the message of the day, and is committed to protecting the rights and freedom of all Nigerians, regardless of their beliefs.
“The teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) serve as a compass guiding us through the complexities of a multicultural world. He left us a template to manage a diverse society fairly.
“He taught us ways to build peace and resolve conflicts through dialogue, through kindness and tolerance.”
