Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo has once again called on Nigerians to bear with the current government, assuring that things would get better soon.
According to him, his boss, president Muhammadu Buhari meant well for the people of the country.
Osinbajo, who was speaking at a Public Lecture/Presentation of Award tagged; “Service Above Self” organised by the Muslim Lawyers’ Association of Nigeria (MULAN), in Abuja, said it was necessary for all, not minding political, religious or tribal inclination to stand for justice, equity and unity of Nigeria.
The Acting President, who was represented by the Senior Special Assistant on Political Matters to the President, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, hailed some Muslim faithfuls, who had been speaking against acts of violence perpetrated against Christians by some extremists.
“Yes! Things are very hard in the country. Our government meant very well for Nigerians, this is not to punish people. It is because things have gone bad in the past,” he said.
In his remarks, the National President of MULAN, Dr Kamal Dawud maintained that to ensure peaceful coexistence in the country, non-Muslim brothers and sisters must understand that Islam is a peaceful religion with some sensitive issues.
According to him, “Let our non-Muslim brothers and sisters avoid these sensitive issues and make them no go areas, to allow peace reign in Nigeria”.
