Today is Christmas eve, yet, some prominent Nigerians have called on the government led President Muhammadu Buhari to, as a matter of urgency, convene a national reconciliatory conference as a way of addressing the challenges confronting the nation.
Among those who made this call are former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, and President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop Samson Ayokunle.
In a report released after their Security Dialogue Retreat in Abuja, the participants said a national reconciliation conference should be held to address the numerous challenges, including widespread insecurity, that have stunted peace and prosperity in the country.
According to them, the high prevalence of violent crimes, kidnappings, and fatal attacks in Nigeria are driven largely by social injustice and a failed economy.
To discuss some of these issues that must be confronted frontally if we are to make any progress and what his outlook is for 2022, is Wale Adefarasin, General Overseer of the Guiding Light Assembly.
