Again, the President of the Ugwumba Leadership Centre for Africa, Uche Nwosu, has thrown his weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the appointment of Mr Nyesom Wike as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Nwosu who is a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) argued that the decision was in tandem with the quest by President Tinubu to unify the nation.
Nwosu was reacting to a statement by a Muslim cleric that President Tinubu should have appointed a Muslim as the minister of the FCT because Christians and Southerners cannot be trusted with power.
Nwosu urged the cleric to eschew acts of bitterness by emulating the president, who has appointed both religions in his cabinet.
“Religious leaders should take a clue from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who doesn’t care about the religion or faith people belong to but what they can give to the society as a person, even with the stiff opposition of Muslim Muslim tickets during his election” He emphasized.
He further emphasized that both Religious and political leaders should tread the path of President Tinubu to put the nation together and not promote division.
Nwosu stressed that Leaders need to build bridges, seek common ground as a basis for the National
Progress.
“Instead of using religion to divide the country, people should learn how to comport themselves when it comes to the issues of religion
“Religious Leaders should be a role model to younger generations instead of using it to divide the country, adding that both religions should walk in the paths of our Lord Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammad” Nwosu noted
Nwosu, who explained that both religions have the poorest of the poor, urged the religious leaders to alleviate the plight of the people instead of using it to enrich themselves and use it to get to political positions.
He appealed to the religious groups to promote peace and unity among Nigerians and the people of the world and called on religious leaders to support government policies and programmes.
