The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has urged politicians and their supporters to prioritise national unity and brotherhood, warning that political contests should not be allowed to create divisions among Nigerians.
Yilwatda said political differences were temporary, stressing that the bonds of brotherhood and national unity should remain stronger than electoral competition.
Yilwatda, in a statement he signed and made available to newsmen on Sunday as his Eid-ul-Mawlid message to Muslims and Nigerians, urged citizens to draw lessons from the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
According to him, the virtues of compassion, tolerance, unity and peaceful coexistence demonstrated by the Prophet remained relevant to Nigeria’s current challenges.
