Federal Govt Mentions Those Allegedly Behind Christian Genocide Narrative

The President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government has accused foreign lobbyists, particularly in the United States, of fuelling the Christian genocide narrative in Nigeria

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said the foreign lobbyists are influencing international perceptions of Nigeria’s security challenges.

Idris stated that government findings show a deliberate attempt to misrepresent Nigeria’s internal security situation.

As reported by Vanguard, Idris stated this during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.

“The Nigerian government has been able to see a correlation between some of the lobbyists operating, especially in the US, and the activities here.

We have seen that some of the influencers of these criminal activities have a direct relationship with lobbyists in the US, who have a direct relationship with some of these people who are shouting about this issue outside this country.

According to Idris, the U.S. stance on Christian genocide is a product of “misrepresentation and misinformation.

The minister insisted that violent groups in Nigeria do not operate on religious lines.

Idris argued that while insecurity remains a serious concern, there is no evidence that any religious group is being specifically targeted in the country.

Nigeria faces long-standing security challenges that have impacted Christians and Muslims alike. Any narrative suggesting that the Nigerian state is failing to take action against religious attacks is based on misinformation or faulty data.”
