‘Violence doesn’t know Christians, Muslims’ – APC Chair, Yilwatda issues caution

The APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has cautioned both Christians and Muslims against violence as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general election. Speaking at the Muslim World League (JIBWIS) International Security Conference, titled "Advancing Peaceful Coexistence," Yilwatda emphasized that violence does not discriminate based on faith when destroying Nigerians.

He shared a personal anecdote about his childhood friendship with a Muslim Chief Imam, highlighting the importance of unity and peace in a nation of diverse faiths. "We are a nation of different faiths," he stated, acknowledging that Christians and Muslims have brothers and relatives among each other. He urged both communities to build a nation through their actions, pointing out that violence doesn't differentiate between Christians and Muslims when it comes to destroying homes, humanity, and dignity.

Yilwatda concluded by stressing that the choices individuals make today will ultimately shape whether the nation can rise or fall together.
