The Nation Newspaper Niger Delta stakeholders advocate peaceful coexistence in region, Nigeria
Stakeholders in the Niger-Delta have emphasised the need for promoting peaceful coexistence among ethnic groups in the region and the country as a whole.
“But we are all from the Niger Delta. The Sapele boy giving a lecture to an assembly of Warri boys is a clear indication of accommodation in the spirit of managing diversity, which is central to the theme of my talk today. Representing the Royal Fathers, the Otota of Okere Urhobo Kingdom, Gold Eburu, illustrated the enduring hostility that exists among fellow countrymen and even individuals of same ethnicity while recalling how he sat next to a fellow Warri monarch at a gathering yet they refused to speak to each other.
However, the Retired General took time out to appreciate the event’s Chairman, Rotimi Oluwagbemiga for embodying the true Nigerian spirit by discountenancing tribalism through his acceptance to chair the ocassion albeit not being a “Warri boy”. “Together these initiatives embody the spirit of WBA, a spirit of resilience, compassion and unwavering determination. However these goals cannot be achieved alone, it is through the collective efforts of each and everyone of us that this vision can make a real and lasting impact on the lives of those in need.
