Nigerians Criticize Tinubu Government for Welcoming Saudi Cleric Amid Global Controversy




Nigerians have expressed outrage over the Tinubu administration’s recent reception of a Saudi cleric known for preaching violence and the enslavement of non-Muslims worldwide.

The controversy comes amid widespread attention on former U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments concerning the alleged “genocide of Christians” in Nigeria.

Critics on social media argue that the Nigerian government appears to be sending conflicting messages, raising concerns about national security, religious tolerance, and the ethical implications of hosting figures who advocate extremist ideologies.

“Despite Trump’s anger over Christian genocide, the government welcomes a cleric who preaches killing and enslavement of non-Muslims. Nigerians are left wondering about the country’s priorities,” one social media user lamented.

Observers note that the incident underscores growing public frustration with perceived inconsistencies in government policies regarding religion, security, and foreign engagements. Many Nigerians are calling for clarity on the purpose of such visits and assurances that extremist ideologies will not be promoted or tolerated on Nigerian soil.

Political analysts have warned that continued appearances and endorsements of controversial figures could further strain interfaith relations and fuel domestic insecurity.

As the debate rages online, citizens are urging the government to prioritize the protection of all Nigerians, uphold religious neutrality, and ensure that foreign engagements do not compromise national values or safety.
