Sola Ojo, Kaduna
Ahead of tomorrow’s governorship and National Assembly elections, the Catholic Archbishop of Kaduna, Most Rev. Mathew Man-Oso Ndagoso, has urged the electorate, particularly Christians, to give peace a chance during and after tomorrow’s polls.
His appeal was coming on the backdrops of brewing tension in Kaduna State as well as previous political violence, which had claimed lives and properties in the state.
Ndagoso, who spoke yesterday, while addressing newsmen in his office in Kaduna, added that in order to guide against religion and ethnic politics, Nigeria must work towards justice.
He said: “The danger of tension, as we are aware, is that it can escalate and lead to violent. We have seen too much violence. Too many people carry the weight of death, destruction and injuries caused by those who do not value their neighbours as they value themselves, their own family and their own homes.
“People have taken it upon themselves to decide that only their own way of thinking and belief are correct, and, so, have wreaked havoc on anyone who has a different way of thinking. Too many innocent lives have been lost in the process.
“Yes, my fellow Nigerians, we’ve seen too much violence. One person, who dies in an unjustified manner is a loss to all of us. Violence in any part of the country diminishes all of us.”
