Yesterday, Nigerians were warned not to allow the results of the 2023 general elections to cause division among them, according to the national council for Arts and Culture, rotunda Olusegun Runsewe.
He spoke in Abuja during a series titled Culture, Justice, and national rebirth: agenda-setting.’ Nigerians have never been more polarized along primordial and parochial lines, he said in the 2023 general elections, which he said occurred after the civil war.
The tension, skepticism, rage, rage, and acrimony generated by the electioneering campaigns, he said, tended to further fuel the flames of distrust and disunity among Nigerians.
No nation can achieve its development aspirations if its elite is largely divided by sentimental rifts of faith and ethnicity as demonstrated in the 2023 elections, according to him.
