The Governor of Cross River State, Senator Bassey Otu, has careworn the importance of concord in establishing a way of belonging.
He mentioned via interfaith and intertribal unions, a number of households in Cross River have benefited immensely and promoted peaceable co-existence.
Talking on the two-day Interfaith Unity Convention of Jama’atu Nasril Islam on Tuesday, Otu urged these considering secession or the dissolution of Nigeria as a unified entity to discard such notions as Nigeria’s unity is indissoluble.
“There are a number of households in Cross River State which have prospered via cross-tribal and interfaith unions. Therefore, internet hosting this occasion is a blessing for all of us as interfaith collaboration is indispensable in as we speak’s Nigeria.
“It’s crucial to remind people that we come into this world with nothing and depart with nothing. The obstacles we encounter come up from division, lack of comprehension, and an incapability to embrace each other. In Cross River, everyone seems to be embraced,” Otu mentioned.
In the meantime, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’advert Abubakar III, lauded the governor for his dedication to selling inter-faith concord and peaceable coexistence in Nigeria.
