Abuja -The Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, the Primate, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), has called on Nigerians and the incoming administration led by retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to focus on peace and the unity of the country.
Okoh told newsmen in Abuja that no development could be achieved in any society without peace and unity.
He said the current problem of insurgency, regional and ethnic suspicion in the country was a threat to peace and unity.
“Peace is a major capital needed to develop the country and there must be a deliberate policy by the incoming administration to reassure Nigerians of peace and unity.
“Except we are at peace and be ready to complement and accept each other as creatures of God, we cannot make progress.
“We must see ourselves as one, a Southerner must live in the North, build and invest there without fear of crisis and a Northerner must do same for us to be proud of a united country,” he said.
The primate pledged the commitment of the church to continue to support and pray for the incoming and outgoing administrations of the country.
