The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Diocese, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, has warned the presidential candidates jostling for the 2023 elections against deceiving Nigerians with impossible campaign promises that would not be realistic.
“We have lived with and survived a culture of kidnapping, hostage-taking and mindless murder. It is still not yet over though as the drama still plays on. The Kaduna deadly train attack in March and the agonizing months the abducted passengers spent in the hands of armed men left us all traumatised. The daring Kuje prison attack by Boko Haram and precipitated secessionist rallies left all of us begging for answers.
Surrounded by so much bad news and associated with some of the worst scenarios, our people are in dire need of anything that can inspire some hope. “However, no matter how much the use of arms has achieved, we must not forget that honest dialogue can also be a veritable tool for collectively building a Nigeria of our dreams that looks after all. That spirit of dialogue should govern the current political campaigns towards the 2023 elections and above all ensure fair play and respect for the opinion of the people when eventually expressed when the ballot is cast.
