The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has called for greater unity and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims.
Yilwatda made the call while speaking at the Muslim World League/JIBWIS International Security Conference, themed “Advancing Peaceful Coexistence.”
The APC chairman stressed that violence affects everyone regardless of whether Christian or Muslim, urging Nigerians to recognise their shared humanity and work together to build a peaceful and prosperous society.
“When violence comes, it doesn’t ask whether you are Christian or Muslim before it destroys either your home, humanity, or dignity,” Yilwatda said.
He added, “We may worship differently, but we suffer together, we can build together, and ultimately, we can rise and fall together.”
He stressed that Nigerians must reject divisions and embrace cooperation across religious and ethnic lines, because peaceful coexistence is increasingly important amid security challenges confronting the country.
