Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has warned politicians against the continuous use of religious and ethnic divisiveness for political capital, noting that the development was negatively affecting national reconciliation and cohesion.
Prof. Osinbajo made this known in Lagos yesterday at the 80th birthday ceremony of former Ogun State Governor Olusegun Osoba and the launch of his autobiography entitled “Battle Lines: Adventures in Journalism and Politics”.
He accused the elites of making national reconciliation difficult as they feed on hate.
“The attempt by political elite to always use religious and ethnic divisiveness is dangerous. They make reconciliation quite difficult because they feed on hate. The challenge before us now as a country is to be able to recognise evil and wickedness. This we can defeat with unity of purpose,” Osinbajo added.
Meanwhile, former Head of State General Abdusalami Abubakar, who chaired the event, urged Nigerians to close ranks, eschew bitterness and form a common front in order to confront the current security challenges and others.
