Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has said it’s time
to punish politicians causing religious divisions in the country.
El-Rufai said the 2023 elections would be used to punish
politicians using religion as a tool to cause division.
He spoke while commissioning the head office of the Sultan
Foundation for Peace and Development.
The governor urged royal fathers to pray and ensure peaceful
and credible elections in 2023.
He lamented that some politicians were using churches and
religious centre for campaign.
“I think this election causes for us a very unique
opportunity to take religion out of politics in Nigeria and punish those that
are trying to use religion as a tool.
“But some people are campaigning in churches, some are
holding internal meetings with religious leaders to promote ethnic and
religious division, it is the last thing Nigeria needs now at a time when the
whole world is facing challenges ultra-nationalism and global supply chain
disruption,” he said.
Lately, some politicians like the presidential candidate of
the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has been visiting some of the top most
churches in Nigeria.
