Nigerians have been advised not to allow politicians ignite conflict but to expose them.
Mallam Abdullahi, director of Research and Document, Adviser CIIP Project, made the call during a two-day training for Conflict Mitigation Management Regional Council (CMMRC) and Community Peace Observers (CPO) in Lokoja, adding that CMMRC and CPO should work for a peaceful environment that will benefit the unborn children.
Abdullahi maintained that “preventing the burning down of our churches and mosques would help in safeguarding our symbol of identity.”
He pointed out that insecurity bedevilling the nation was a big concern to everyone, as he urged the politicians to make it a point of duty for the country to have a peaceful, fair and free election come 2023.
