The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has appealed to Nigerians, irrespective of creed or religious affiliations to co-exist in peace and understanding.
According to him, the task of building a viable nation cannot be achieved in an atmosphere of communal and religious intolerance, as it is being witnessed in different parts in the country.
The vice president spoke on Thursday in Abuja while he was being honoured with an award by the Muslim Lawyers’ Association of Nigeria (MULAN) at the Sheraton Hotels and Towers.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, who represented Prof. Osinbajo at the event, also urged Nigerians to be patient with the administration.
Ojudu said the task of rebuilding the country transcends religion, pointing out that it is instructive enough to see the vice president who is a Pastor being recognized and honoured by Muslim Lawyers Association.
The presidential aide enjoined Nigerians to shun acts capable of plunging the nation into needless orgy of bloodbath and destruction of property.
He observed that the country had gone astray for too long and that it takes sincerity, commitment and patriotism on the part of everyone to put things right. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
