Former vice-chancellor of Federal University Oye Ekiti, FUOYE’s Prof. Kayode Soremekun has warned religious leaders in Nigeria to refrain from passing wrong messages to their followers ascribing the Israel-Hamas war as a religious war.

According to Kayode, “The religious leaders in Nigeria, who are Christians and Muslims, should make every effort not to mislead their followers. Secondly, they should understand and appreciate the diversity of Nigeria, recognizing it as a plural society, especially when it comes to religion. They have the responsibility to inform their followers that what is happening is not fundamentally a religious war but rather a struggle for resources, such as land.

Professor Sylvester Odion, a lecturer in the Political Science Department at Lagos State University, argues that superpower involvement is a major factor in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He emphasized that America’s unrestrained support for Israel encourages that country’s excesses in its interaction with Palestinians. He added, “Some people will resort to the Bible to claim that the whole of Palestine belongs to Israel. I don’t know if we can evaluate state relations based on religion.

He added, “The issue of state recognition needs to be approached with solemn analysis. We may not have solutions to the problem under discussion, but for those of us in humanitarian studies, we can only focus on the humanitarian crisis. Apportioning blame to any party involved can only further escalate tensions.We can’t have current setup in INEC and expect credible elections — Itodo

“I am only saying there is a wrong strategy somewhere, which is not an endorsement of a humanitarian crisis.”
