Promise Emmanuel, the Senior Special Assistant on Cybercrime to the Kogi State Governor, has called for religious tolerance following a viral video that showed a woman confronting Muslims who were praying on the road. Emmanuel stated that while blocking roads for Friday prayers is wrong, it could be due to the large number of Muslims gathering for prayers and limited space.
He also criticized Christian practices such as uninvited home evangelism, preaching in buses, and using loudspeakers in public places, arguing that these actions were also wrong. Emmanuel emphasized the need for tolerance in a religiously diverse society, noting that Christians and Muslims in Nigeria share similarities despite their differences.
"That's where TOLERANCE comes in. A little discomfort for each other to tolerate ourselves in living together because life was created in diversity," he said.
