Former Senator Shehu Sani has expressed his belief that the unity of Nigeria will remain an illusion as long as fanatical leaders are tolerated within the system.
He suggests that these leaders exploit religious differences and sentiments for their own political gains, further dividing the country. Sani made this statement in response to recent controversial remarks by the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, against Christians.
Sani emphasizes that the unity of Nigeria can only be achieved when leaders refrain from exploiting religious differences and instead work towards fostering harmony and understanding among the people. The tweet highlights the need for a system that discourages and condemns fanatical behavior from political leaders who manipulate religious sentiments for their personal political expedience.
It is worth noting that Nasir El-Rufai faced significant criticism after his inciting statements targeting Christians in Kaduna State and Nigeria. Despite the controversy surrounding his remarks, there have been no reported actions from security agencies to invite or arrest him for questioning. The tweet invites readers to share their opinions and comments on the issue, indicating a desire for public engagement and discussion regarding religious tolerance and unity in Nigeria.
