IBB Preaches Peace

As Nigeria marks its 57th Independence anniversary, the country’s former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (Rtd), wants Nigerians to embrace peace and dialogue as antidotes for conflict resolution.

General Babangida in a statement on Saturday – the eve of the Independence anniversary, also called for a careful appraisal of the country’s journey to nationhood, warning that agitations and conflicts are hurting the country.

“Dialogue remains the best option in resolving conflicts and agitations in the country. Recent conflicts and agitations, chanting slogans of war and hate speeches are derailing the nation’s development and unity,” he said.

According to him, with the nation bedevilled by agitations and conflicts, there is the need for careful appraisal of our journey to nationhood.
