The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has finally broken his silence on the allegation of Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Speaking in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST on Monday, Wike described the allegation as politics taken too far.
Recall that US President Donald Trump had declared Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern‘ over allegations of Christian killings in the country.
Reacting, the former Rivers State governor said, “When I was coming here, people were calling and texting me, asking me not to speak about US President Donald Trump. I’m a full-blooded Nigerian. I’m a Christian. My father is a pastor; in fact, my entire family is Christian.
“It is an indictment on my person as a Christian that a government that I’m serving, anybody would allege that such a government is supporting genocide, the killing of Christians. This is politics taken too far.”
