Mr Chukwudi Enekwechi, the Chairman of TMV, in a statement, said the President’s message on the country’s diversity as a source of its strength should resonate with all Nigerians
“President Tinubu has shown the way by using his presence at the Pope’s inauguration to rally Nigerians to see their diversity as a means of strength capable of uniting Nigerians for the progress and growth that we urgently desire.
“It is remarkable that as a leader, he has made a clarion call for Nigerians to use their diversity for prosperity, not for adversity.
“For the President, as a Muslim to attend the Papal inauguration and promote inter-faith dialogue, tolerance among the various faiths and cooperation, is a clear demonstration of maturity and ability to cater for all citizens irrespective of creed or ethnicity,” the group said.
The group, therefore, enjoined leaders at all levels to emulate Tinubu by promoting peaceful coexistence among the citizens: “For us, this is the only way we can make progress as a people.”
The group added that a situation where communities or people were attacked or victimised on account of their religious beliefs should be discouraged. (NAN)
