₦airaland Forum

Welby visited Mrs Tinubu ahead of a major interfaith dialogue convened by the Global Forum for Peace in Abu Dhabi under the patronage of Sheikh Abdallah Bin Baya, scheduled to be held next week in London, United Kingdom.

The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on the international community to stop misreading the security crisis in Nigeria.

Speaking during the meeting at her office in Abuja, Senator Tinubu said proper understanding of the country’s realities was essential to finding lasting solutions to its challenges.

In a statement by her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, the First Lady noted that while Nigeria continued efforts to promote peace and harmony among different groups, the global community must support such initiatives by avoiding what she described as inaccurate framing of the nation’s security situation.

“The world must get the right perspective of the various challenges in the nation to be able to proffer appropriate solutions.

“Listening to one side of the story and then concluding is a wrong approach to conflict resolution.”

Mrs Tinubu kicked against the tendency to attribute Nigeria’s security crises to religious or ethnic fault lines.

She accused external observers of doing that without proper verification. The former senator said the Nigerian government has consistently raised concerns in response to international coverage of farmer-herder clashes and insurgency in the North-East and Middle Belt.

The First Lady commended the former head of the Anglican Church for acknowledging that Nigeria’s challenges were best understood and resolved by Nigerians themselves.

“Listening to one side of the story and then concluding is a wrong approach to conflict resolution,” she said.

She also welcomed moves to deepen interfaith dialogue, urging that security agencies be included in such engagements.

“Thank you for opening up this interfaith dialogue, and I believe that you should also invite not just the Christians and Muslims but also the Nigeria Security to the dialogue to know what they have been doing,” she added.

Senator Tinubu used the opportunity to praise Nigeria’s Armed Forces for their continued sacrifices and gallantry in tackling insecurity across the country.

She also called on churches in Nigeria and around the world to continue preaching values that encourage responsible living and peaceful coexistence.

In his remarks, Welby said he was bringing his experience to bear on issues relating to peace and security in Nigeria, while also highlighting the country’s image as a nation that protects freedom of worship.

He disclosed that an interfaith dialogue meeting would be convened next week in London by the Global Forum for Peace, Abu Dhabi, under the patronage of Sheikh Abdallah Bin Baya.

According to him, the dialogue would host 12 Christians and 12 Muslims aimed at fostering understanding and finding workable solutions to interfaith conflicts in Nigeria and beyond.

“We want to contribute to what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing to promote peace, interfaith wise. All we are after is enduring peace,” Welby said.

“I am here to smooth the way ahead of the interfaith dialogue and make sure the meeting addresses all that it should.”
Welby was accompanied on the visit by Richard Montgomery.

The meeting came barely a month after President Bola Tinubu’s state visit to the United Kingdom, where the First Lady participated in sessions on interfaith dialogue and attended a church service at Lambeth Palace.

Aisha Buhari performed well, as par humanitarian activities, women and children advocacy and she spoke truth to power, not minding the power resides in her bedroom.

The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian youths to be hard-working, saying, “There is no food for lazy man.”

Mrs Tinubu said this during a courtesy visit to the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Thursday.

She noted that while the Tinubu-led administration is working hard to provide sustainable solutions to the current challenges facing the country, Nigerians should also work hard to provide for themselves.

The first lady maintained that the government will do all it takes to ensure that Nigerians are not disappointed and called for patience with Tinubu’s administration.

Mrs Tinubu said: “There is no food for the lazy man; even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.

“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.

“God has richly blessed my family before getting to the presidency and we are content with what we have.

“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our administration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.

“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is accountable.

“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and the masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”
