President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has described the Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration as the most Christian friendly government since the creation of Nigeria.

Akpabio stated this in his goodwill message at the reception rally to formally receive Governor Caleb Mutfwang into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Jos Polo ground on Tuesday.

A statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, quoted Akpabio as saying, " Let me place on record that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration is the most Christian friendly administration since the creation of Nigeria. He has shown this through his actions and deeds. He treats both Christians and Muslims equally."

Speaking further, Akpabio congratulated Governor Mutfwang for taking the people of the Plateau to the centre of Nigeria's political gravity, saying," Mr Governor, I congratulate you on this action of taking the people of Plateau to the centre of national politics. Let me assure you that insecurity will soon come to an end in the Plateau.

"We will support your government in all sectors in order to better the lives of your people. We will not leave you alone. Today's action has finally brought all the states in the North Central geo- political zone into the party. This is significant".

"Government will do everything within its powers to protect Nigerians no matter their religious inclination and belief. We will support President Tinubu through approval of funds in order to shut down all IDP camps in the country."

In his address, Governor Mutfwang thanked those who ensured his defection came to being, particularly the efforts of Senator Akpabio.

"Today's movement is a landmark. It is statement that the people on the Plateau have made and they are here in their thousands to publicly declare their support for the APC and to return President Tinubu back to office in 2027. We are beginning a journey that our forefathers had long expected that we be united for peace and development.
