Addressing the World Khalifa of the Tijjaniyya Order, scholars, spiritual leaders and adherents from Nigeria and other countries, Tinubu said religious leaders have an important responsibility in confronting violence, extremism and the manipulation of faith for destructive purposes. “Your voices must be raised consistently against the murder of innocent people, against terrorism, kidnapping, banditry and the misuse of religion to justify cruelty. Your institutions and networks must become stronger in the advocacy for peace education, religious literacy, scholarship and the formation of upright young men and women. Citing a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR report, he noted that 117.8 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide at the end of 2025, stressing that the scale of global challenges makes the intervention of spiritual leaders increasingly indispensable. According to him, spiritual leaders “guard the frontiers of conscience” through their capacity to heal wounds, resolve grievances and dissolve deep-seated hatred and bitterness.
