Eschew violence, Kaduna arch Bishop charges Kaduna indigenes vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
According to the Bishop, people resort to religious and ethnic sentiments when the government fails to guarantee justice and fairness in its dealings with the citizens.
“The danger of tension, as we are aware, is that it can escalate, and violence can be the result. We have seen too much violence. Too many people carry the weight of death, destruction and injuries caused by those who do not value their neighbours as they value themselves, their own family and their own homes.
“People have taken it upon themselves to decide that only their own way of thinking and belief is correct, and so have wreaked havoc on anyone who has a different way of thinking or belief. “As a Christian leader, I am again making a special appeal to Christians. We have entered the season of Lent, a season in which we reflect on our own following of Jesus Christ who eschewed violence even to the point of death, and who even in his death, forgave those who brought it about.
“As we prepare to vote, I urge each person, each citizen of this country, particularly, of Kaduna State, to carry out his or her civic duty and vote according to the dictates of conscience and not to be swayed by others, whether tempted by material goods or overwhelmed by smooth words.
