Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has urged Nigerians who believe in pursuing the good of the nation to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration’s fight against evil.
He spoke at the weekend in Fadan Kagoma, Kaduna State during the 2016 Khituk Gwong Day where he was the Special Guest of Honour.
Osinbajo, in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, said in too many instances leaders from different areas of the nation’s life have tried to use religion and ethnicity to cause division in a bid to attain political and other selfish ends.
“Sometimes political leaders use religion to divide, they use ethnicity to oppress the people,” the vice president said.
A new Nigeria, he said, is now emerging that will include Christians, Moslems, people of all faiths and those who confess no faith.
He said those Nigerians of the New Tribe are those who believe in truth, honesty and justice among other virtues that advance the right course for the country.
He added: “This new Nigeria must be based on love for each other,” and must value integrity, Prof. Osinbajo declared stressing that it is indeed mandated in his own personal faith of Christianity to love everyone including “your enemy. ”
He explained that Christians have to love those who hate them and despitefully use them, and even have to pray for their enemies.
According to him, those who have been stealing from and looting the nation’s coffers are drawn from all ethnicity and faiths, but are united in their quest to steal.”
