The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria, Yusuf Tuggar, stated he is “as cool as a cucumber” after British broadcaster Piers Morgan suggested that the minister was anxious regarding a recent interview about the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria on his show.
Tuggar had previously posted on his X account, voicing concern that his remarks in the interview about the alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria were being misrepresented to align with external biases.
The minister warned that selective editing could misrepresent Nigeria and spread “misleading narratives and claims of religious persecution in Nigeria.”
He subsequently requested that Morgan release the full and unedited version of his interview.
In response to Tuggar on X, Morgan assured him that the program would air his comments in their entirety while asserting that the Nigerian minister appeared to be panicking.
Morgan remarked that the show is titled “Uncensored” for a reason, emphasizing that whether the audience believes what the minister stated remains to be determined.
However, Tuggar retorted: “I am as cool as a cucumber, Mr. Morgan. If I were not so composed, I might say you are flattering yourself, but I won’t. I just want to ensure that you don’t edit out the segments where you repeatedly referred to the ‘Chibok Boys’! Well researched.”
As of the time of this report, the complete interview had yet to be made available on the program’s official platforms.
