The President speaking at the Christmas day service at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, Anglican Communion, Gwarimpa, Abuja, admonished politicians and statesmen that were heating up the polity saying that the country belongs to all Nigerians.
He stressed that the nation belonged to each and everyone Nigerian, “the common man, traditional rulers, religious leaders, our men, our women.”
He however cautioned the politicians against making inflammatory statements that could heat up the polity in the name of politics.
In his words,
“For us at this time especially, we the politicians, we think we own this country and begin to think about next election and doing what we ought not to do, making statement we ought not to make, writing letters we suppose not to write.
“This country belongs to our statesmen, traditional rulers, religious leaders, our men, our women, our youth. Nigeria does not belong to any politician or group of politicians.’’
The President's comments comes on the heels of his response to an open letter written by a former powerful head of state.
