The Speaker further urged Nigerians to embrace religious tolerance and national unity, stressing that “our diversity should continue to inspire mutual respect rather than division, dialogue rather than hostility, and cooperation rather than conflict.”
He reaffirmed the House of Representatives’ commitment to protecting religious freedom and rejecting all forms of religious intolerance, extremism and persecution.
