Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar and broadcaster Piers Morgan have publicly sparred after the Minister demanded their interview about religious persecution in Nigeria be aired without any edits.
Key Points:
Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar appeared on Piers Morgan’s ‘Uncensored’ show.
Tuggar requested that the full interview be aired unedited to prevent “distorted” truths.
Piers Morgan responded that the demand demonstrated the Minister was “panicking.”
Tuggar retorted he was “as cool as a cucumber,” mocking a research error by Morgan.
The minister’s reply referenced Morgan’s alleged confusion over the “Chibok boys.”
The interview aims to counter narratives of religious persecution in Nigeria.
The broadcast date for the yet-to-be-aired interview remains unconfirmed.
This war of words underscores the fragile dance between media representation and national image, where control over the narrative is the ultimate prize.
