Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), has called on warring parties across the country to embrace
peace.
Tinubu spoke on Friday during the eighth-day Fidau prayer
for late Lateef Jakande, first civilian governor of Lagos state.
He warned that should the ethnic conflicts linger and there
is a need to vacate the country, the entire West African region will not be
enough to accommodate Nigerians.
He appealed to Nigerians not to turn “whatever challenges we
are facing right now” into ethnic, religious or tribal crisis.
“Nigeria is currently facing a crisis; a crisis of
insurgency, banditry in all aspects of security, but God Almighty that made
this country as one of the largest and most resourceful country will protect
us,” Tinbu said.
“I appeal, in his (Jakande’s) memory today, for us not to
turn whatever challenges we are facing right now into ethnic, tribal and
religion crises.
“If there is a crisis, where do we go? We will submerge the
entire West Africa, there will be no enough space to accommodate us.
“Those who have seen the effect of war, the effect of tribal
conflict, of religion conflict, will never want it for Nigeria.
“We pray to God to strengthen our mind, guide our faith, put
peace and bring peace unto this land, may Allah bless all of us.”
