Nigeria’s minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, has called on Nigerians to strive to overcome their differences and understand one another in
The minister spoke in Abuja on Saturday, during the public presentation of a book titled, “Ripples Of Grace,” written by Nigeria’s obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr Bamigboye Ezekiel Ogunbiyi, the Asiwaju of Illofa to mark his 75th birthday anniversary.“One thing that has come out clearly in all the speeches here is that Nigeria is a great country. That, what divides us is not as much as those things that unite us and we should try to overcome our differences and make this country better again.
“The foundation for national unity has been built long ago and all we need to do is to sustain it. Nigeria is a great country, what divides us is not as much as those things that unite us and that we should strive to overcome those few differences and understand one another and make this country great,” the Minister said.
The Minister, who cited how Muslims and Christians used to sit side by side in the olden days, said the problem of Nigeria has nothing to do with religion. “We know that there are some people for very selfish reasons would want to exaggerate our differences but there is a brighter future for this country,” he added.
