The Buhari Media Support Group (BMSG) has called on Nigerians to support Acting President Yemi Osinbajo’s call for religious harmony and national unity for the sake of growth and development of the nation.
BMSG made the call on Wednesday, February 9 in Abuja via a statement signed by the Coordinator of the group, Malam Muhammad Labbo and the Secretary, Chief Cassidy Madueke.
“When there is no religious tolerance and national unity, peace becomes elusive and there will hardly be room for implementation of government programs and projects that will promote the welfare of citizens.
“Such situation will also make it difficult for both local and foreign investors to be attracted to the country,’’ the Group said.
The Group described the Acting President call which was made on the 7th of February, 2017 in Benin, Edo State as “the words of a true leader’’.
BMSG also noted that the Acting President’s call and his famous quote: “Hate is the enemy of Faith and our Nation” came at a time when unpatriotic statements and comments from some Nigerians had become the order of the day.
The Group also observed that the unpatriotic statements which were made when the nation’s polity is so heated up, were uncalled for as “Nigeria needs supportive comments and not comments they are divisive’’.
BMSG also called on other leaders to toe the line of the call for religious harmony and national unity, while advising all Nigerians to ensure that the call “is observed in practice as well’’.
The Group believes that the call for harmony and unity is a sure way for a lasting and enduring peace which will ultimately lead to economic prosperity for the Nation.
