The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, on Monday accused opposition parties for the claims that Christians were being killed in Nigeria.
All these, Wike said, is to take over power from President Bola Tinubu.
Wike spoke on Local Electronic Television’s programme Politics Today where he described the move as ‘politics too far’, adding that their plans will fail.
The Minister however, refused to list one opposition leader or elaborate further on what he meant.
When asked if opposition was fuelling the narrative of a Christian genocide, Wike said: “It is very obvious and I have said this.
“The problem we have today is Mr President’s own nature of politics, you can see the collapse of the opposition.
“It will be difficult for anybody. The opposition today has seen that no party is prepared to challenge the President returning to power. What do we do? Should we allow him to just go in like that without challenges? We must do something and one of the things to do is bring up such things that will divide the country.”
Wike said the narrative of genocide under President Bola Tinubu’s administration is “politics taken too far.”
“It is an indictment that a government I am serving, anybody will allege that that government is supporting genocide, killing of Christians and I am still in that government.
