President Bola Tinubu will attend funeral prayers for Nana Yilwatda Goshwe, mother of APC Chairman Prof. Nantewe Yilwatda after which he will address Christian leaders during his visit to Plateau State today, Saturday, 4 October, the presidency has said.
The mother of APC National Chairman Mama Lydia Yilwatda died on August 17 at the University of Jos Teaching Hospital aged 83.
Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga announced this in a statement on Friday.
He said during the visit, Tinubu will address northern church leaders at the COCIN Church headquarters in Jos.
Tinubu is further expected to use his address to the Christian leaders in Plateau State to dismiss the claims of religious genocide in Nigeria as being peddled by some lawmakers in the United States of America.
Recall that the President had last Tuesday in Imo State said allegations of religious persecution in Nigeria were “unfounded and misleading”
Here, no faith is under siege, no community is excluded. Our churches, mosques, and traditional shrines stand side by side—not as rivals, but as symbols of the unity that binds us,” Tinubu said while addressing a gathering at the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu Convention Centre, Owerri.
