Former Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District and gubernatorial candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the last election, Hope Uzodinma has called on Nigerians to be tolerant and desist from making divisive statements especially against any section of the country.

 

He made the call on Monday while speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting in his Omuma country home in Imo State. He urged Igbo living in the North and Fulani herders living in the South to go about their businesses, saying that they should not panic over inflammatory statements by some elements in the country.

 

“I have the full confidence that the federal government has both the will and might to secure the lives and properties of all Nigerians everywhere in the land”.

 

“There is no nation today that is not facing security challenges, even in Europe and America but the question is whether the government of the day is tackling. In the case of Nigeria, yes President Buhari is tackling it.

 

“Our soldiers are better equipped today than before Mr. President came in. And today there is no local government under the grip of Boko Haram any more in Nigeria unlike during the PDP.

 

“So we must commend the efforts of Mr. President and our Armed Forces who have brought insurgents to their knees. All we need to do now as politicians is to desist from inflammatory comments and support the laudable efforts being made by this administration in finding lasting solution to the situation”, he stated.
