Nigeria, a country with a significant Christian population of 55% and a Muslim population of 43%, has raised concerns about the religious balance in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet. In a sample data project compiled by Nwankwo T.

The disproportionate representation of Muslims in the cabinet continues to raise concerns about the potential for Islamic dominance and the marginalization of Christian interests in the nation. This imbalance may exacerbate existing religious tensions in Nigeria, potentially undermining national unity and stability.

The composition of President Tinubu’s cabinet has significant implications for Nigeria’s religious balance and national unity. The administration has the opportunity to immediately address these concerns and promote inclusivity, the current imbalance may perpetuate existing tensions and undermine the country’s stability. The Northern Islamic agenda of former President Muhammad Buhari cannot continue to be projected and strive in Nigeria.
