President Buhari Breaks Silence,Condemns Ethnic Violence In The Country
We should not ignore this brotherhood, as God tells us in the Qur’an that He created us different tribes to know each other, not to fight each other.
Ethnic clashes between business people at the Sasa area of Akinyele Local Government Oyo State have alarmed me, and of course we have to rebuke them because ethnic violence is disgusting.
I call on our youth to continue to be lovers of peace and unity in Nigeria. Let us stop looking at each other as enemies, and instead, look at each other as brothers and sisters whom God has given us one country, a source of pride.
The time has gone for inter-ethnic violence in Nigeria, now is the time to unite and use our talents to uplift our country in the eyes of the world.’
