Senate
President David Mark on Sunday warned some desperate persons using
politics and religion to destroy the sanctity of the unity and peace of
the nation to desist in order to avoid the wrath of God.
He noted that, “to sponsor or promote
violence , destruction and uncharitable utterances in the name of
politics or religion is totally unacceptable and must be condemned in
the strongest term in words and deeds.”
Mark, according to a statement by his
Chief Press Secretary, Mr Paul Mumeh, stated this during the
installation ceremony of the metropolitan Archbishop of the Methodist
Church of Nigeria, Joseph Job in Abuja, on Sunday.
The senate president urged Nigerians of all faiths to be committed to the work of social justice, peace and religious tolerance.
He cautioned those fanning the embers of
war or disunity to think otherwise and pointed out that “current
insecurity and political confusion are avoidable distractions we
certainly do not need now.”
He expressed concern that most people tend to use politics and religion for the wrong reasons.
