Abuja, June 12, 2023 (NAN)Earl Osaro Onaiwo, Former Director General of the Nigerian Governors Forum, has charged politicians against the attitude of using religion and ethnicity to divide Nigerian's.
He gave the charge in a statement and goodwill message signed by him on Monday in Abuja, saying it is time and paramount to build Nigeria into a formidable democracy, devoid of religious and other considerations.
“June 12, 1993 marked the end of religious and ethnic manipulations on our people. Religion has been used for too long to divide Nigerians and the time has come to put a stop to it. We normally do not question the religion of the pilot before we board our flights, neither do we ask for the religion of the owner before we buy from the supermarket or filling stations.”
“The National Assembly are faced with electing quality leadership for our Legislature so as to ensure that good laws are made, therefore,they must shun religious and ethnic considerations and elect those who can represent the interest of Nigerians well,” Onaiwu stated.
The Edo State-born big time politician congratulated Nigerians for their resilience and determination shown over the years, in the quest to finding enduring democratic ethos for the Country.
