We Must Not Allow Pretenders To Divide Us, Atiku Cautions Nigerians

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

“We must not allow those who seek to divide us to pretend as if our problems are as a result of another ethnic or religious group.”

This was the message from the former Nigerian Vice President and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to Christians to mark the Easter celebration today, Friday.

He called on the nation’s leaders at all levels to follow the virtues that define this season which he said are: “sacrifice, love, and charity – and come together to help all Nigerians resolve the differences that divide us.”

He also called on Nigerians to emulate the virtues of love and sacrifice which characterized the life of Jesus Christ, describing those two qualities as essential to the unity that Nigeria so desperately needs at this time when vested and provincial interests threaten to tear the nation apart.

Atiku, who holds a traditional title of Waziri Adamawa, also encouraged Nigeria’s leaders to use the opportunity of the Christian celebration of Easter to reflect on their stewardship to their people and to the nation.
