President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to preserve the unity of the country despite their ethnic and religious differences.
Tinubu, represented by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, made the call at an International Conference on Security and National Unity in Abuja, where he said dialogue remains essential to keeping Nigeria united.
The President said his administration was committed to tackling insecurity and working with other countries to promote peace, while urging Nigerians to resolve their differences through dialogue.
He said, “The government is determined to make sure that we remain united as a country, despite our differences.”
The APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, also warned politicians against exploiting religion and ethnicity for political gains, saying such actions could deepen divisions and cause lasting damage.
Meanwhile, the Sultan of Sokoto and Co-Chairman of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, said Nigeria does not lack solutions to its challenges but needs stronger implementation of agreements reached at conferences.
He also urged Christians and Muslims to stop insulting one another, stressing that mutual respect is essential for peaceful coexistence.
