The Catholic Bishop of the Sokoto Diocese, Hassan Kukah, has urged Nigerians to stop turning against one another.
He asserted that several problems arose in the country because many citizens do not understand what it means to be without a nation.
The clergyman shared his thoughts on Tuesday in Abuja at the public presentation of a book titled, ‘Judicial Terrorism’ – ‘A Macabre Trial and Death Sentences on Some Atvap (Kataf) People’.
He said the worst period in the country’s history is over and urged citizens to be more united.
Kukah said, “We might assume, and I think we are going to assume, that the worst times in our history are over but let us remain eternally together because what we have and what we hold is a treasure.
“This is a heck of a country, and it is a great country and people have laid down their lives for this country.
“I used to say to Nigerians, you know, we are just joking, because we don’t know what it is to be without a country.
“What did the people of Gaza do? What did the people of Lebanon do? What did the people of Valencia do? We are hearing stories of earthquakes and incredible things happening that are sweeping the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on a daily basis.
“But in Nigeria, it is us who are collectively turning the knife on ourselves. So I think that going forward, the most important thing for you as a Christian is to develop the spirit of forgiveness, and that nothing will happen that is outside the boundary of the divine will of God.”
