"The onus lies on us to pray for the peace and unity of Nigeria.
“We need to be our brothers’ keeper at all times. Destiny has placed a burden on us to work for the peace and unity of Nigeria. The current state of insecurity in the land is not just embarrassing but retrogressive to the socio-economic and political development of Nigeria.
“It is a matter that is beyond human comprehension. We should rise to the occasion and salvage the situation. Whatever we can do individually and collectively, we must do it now.”
