Speaking on Politics Today on Channels Television on Thursday, the Borno South politician said the Senate had adopted his motion urging the Federal Government to counter what he described as false and misleading international narratives suggesting that Christians are being deliberately targeted in Nigeria.

that Nigeria is witnessing ''mass murder of Christians.''
The senator argued that such claims stem from ignorance of Nigeria's complex security realities, noting that the insurgency did not begin on religious grounds but as an anti-Western education movement.
''When they say Boko Haram, it means Western education is forbidden, whether you are Moslem or Christian,'' Ndume explained.
''Eighty percent or more of those affected by Boko Haram are Moslems from the Kanuri areas. In northern Borno, most of the local governments affected are Moslem-dominated. This crisis did not start because of religion.''
He said that while communities with large Christian populations in southern Borno have been relatively less affected, nearly all local governments in northern Borno remain displaced or partially resettled.
''Even now, about twenty local governments in northern Borno are affected. Most of them are Moslems,'' he added.
