  • In Plateau State, Christians and Muslims united in a hunger protest, emphasizing tolerance and calling for national unity against hardship
  • Protest organizers highlighted the importance of peaceful demonstrations, urging all Nigerians to join in addressing hunger and insecurity collectively

As the nationwide protest against high living costs and insecurity continued into its second day, Christians and Muslims in Plateau State marched together in a show of unity. This demonstration marks a significant moment in a region historically divided by ethno-religious conflicts.

The hunger protest provided a unique platform for Christians and Muslims to unite for a common cause. Held at Airport Junction, Christians shielded their Muslim counterparts during their Jumma’at prayers.

After the prayers, Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Youth and Sport and one of the protest organizers, addressed the crowd. He called for unity among Christians and Muslims, emphasizing that tolerance is essential for national development. He said, “The message to President Tinubu and other Nigerians is that Plateau people have proved it is possible to live in peace and harmony. We have disgraced the politicians who use religion and ethnicity to divide us. Nigerians should emulate Plateau people.”

Isa EL-Buba, President of EL-Buba Outreach Ministries, International, and another protest organizer, also spoke to the protesters. He highlighted the need for youth to sacrifice for their future and stressed the importance of unity in overcoming challenges. He said, “Both Muslims and Christians are here to demonstrate against hunger and insecurity. We allowed the Muslims to say their prayers because this demonstration is for all of us, not just one religion.”
