Former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has raised concern over the growing political tension in the country ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying that Nigerians must learn to play politics without bitterness.
Speaking shortly after observing the two raka’ats prayer for Eid-el-Kabir at the Minna Eid prayer ground, he specifically warned politicians to reduce tension in the system and embrace politics that will provide an enabling environment for the Nigeria people to elect credible leaders of their choice without any rancour.
He maintained that peace is the prerequisite for any meaningful development, and implored Nigerians irrespective of their ethnic and religious affiliation to continue to pray for peace in the country to achieve greater heights.
He, however, prayed God to bring peace and stability to Nigeria towards overcoming the numerous challenges bedeviling the country.
Also speaking with newsmen, Governor Mohammed Umar Bago, advised Muslims to pray for forgiveness and a better Nigeria where economic prosperity and peace will remain the hallmark.
Bago expressed optimism of better days ahead, insisting that Nigeria will be great again with love, mutual respect and the collective efforts by all and sundry.
