He said: “Rather than having political cohesion through acceptable political practise, we tend to breed and encourage mistrust among diverse Nigerians. It has always caused tension, bringing mistrust and threat occasioned by calls for restructuring and or secession among diverse Nigerians.”
Bafarawa stated that it was time politicians started building bridges of unity to ensure positive development that would strengthen the confidence of the citizens in the democratic process.
He added: “We should promote and sustain good governance by avoiding tendencies threatening our political journey as a nation.”
Government should do the right thing
