The Buhari Media Support Group (BMSG) has called on Nigerians to support Acting President Yemi Osinbajo’s call for religious harmony and national unity for the sake of growth and development of the nation.
BMSG made the call today in Abuja in a statement by the Coordinator of the group, Malam Muhammad Labbo and the Secretary, Chief Cassidy Madueke.
“When there is no religious tolerance and national unity, peace becomes elusive and there will hardly be room for implementation of government programs and projects that will promote the welfare of citizens.
“Such situation will also make it difficult for both local and foreign investors to be attracted to the country.”
The Group described the call for unity, which the Acting President made on the 7th of February, 2017 in Benin, Edo State as “the words of a true leader.”
BMSG recalled Osinbajo’s saying at every opportune time that “hate is the enemy of Faith and our Nation” , adding that it is coming at a time when unpatriotic statements and comments from some Nigerians have become the order of the day.
The Group observed that the unpatriotic statements which were made when the nation’s polity is so heated up, were uncalled for and that Nigeria needs supportive comments and not comments that are divisive.
BMSG called on other leaders to toe the line of the call for religious harmony and national unity and to advise Nigerians to ensure that the call is observed in practice as well.
The Group believed that the call for harmony and unity is a sure way for a lasting and enduring peace which will ultimately lead to economic prosperity for the nation.
