Matthew Kukah, Catholic bishop of Sokoto diocese, has expressed worry that the country is far from being a united entity.
Kukah in his keynote address, urged religious leaders to focus more on values which unite people as children of God and as citizens of Nigeria.
“What has really been making things difficult for us in our country, is that we are moving in different directions and the result is that Christians are on one side, Muslims are on the other side and we maintained this dual loyalty,” he said.
“The only time when Christianity and Islam don’t matter, is when they are burying the money under the ground. When they are sharing the contracts, Christianity and Islam don’t matter. When they are sharing the loot that is when religion doesn’t matter.
“Religious leaders must stand firm on believability. A religious leader must be knowledgeable; I am not talking of book knowledge. There is nothing as beautiful as calling people by their names. There is nothing more beautiful than having neighbours around you and your interest in them.”
