A sociopolitical activist, Aisha Yesufu, revealed on Tuesday that there is a political genocide occurring against Christians in northern Nigeria.

This statement follows comments made by American comedian and television host, Bill Maher, who asserted that there are coordinated attacks targeting Nigerian Christians.

Maher claimed that there is a “Christian genocide,” stating that these attacks are being influenced by foreign entities.

“I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing Christians in Nigeria. Over 100,000 have been killed since 2009. They have burned 18,000 churches. These attacks are carried out by Islamists, including Boko Haram,” he stated.

In response, Yesufu posted on X: “You are raising your voice about the persecution of Northern Christians, yet you supported a Muslim-Muslim ticket!”

“Their Christianity was not sufficiently Christian for you during the 2023 election.”

“Your hypocrisy is glaring. When will you address the political genocide against Northern Christians?”
