Young Progressive Party(YPP), candidate Ifako-Ijaye federal constituency, Lagos State,Hon. Peter Folajimi Buraimoh has called for peace and religious tolerance among different adherents of faith as the antidote to conflicts in the country.
In his goodwill message to Nigerians to commemorate this year’s Christmas celebration issued on Saturday, Buraimoh called for inter-religious cooperation that will engender peace and harmonious coexistence.
He said occasional conflicts between and among various religions would never reoccur if the inter-religious dialogue is sustained.
Buraimoh urged Christians in the country to remain steadfast in prayer to the almighty God to intervene in the myriads of security, and socio-economic and political challenges facing the nation.
He enjoined them not to undermine the essence of the Christmas celebration on the altar of merriment, saying, “the sanctity of the birth of Jesus Christ which is the reason for the celebration is to re-enact the spirit of love, peace, good neighbourliness and forgiveness which our saviour preached.”
Hon. Buraimoh particularly thanked the people of Ifako-Ijaye federal constituency, for their silence and support him come 2023 general election and enjoined them to remain steadfast to face the challenges ahead.
On the forthcoming general elections, Hon.Buraimoh called on the people of the State and Nigeria to “vote in leaders who will be committed to the security of people and promote the well-being and development of the country. This is the only way we can rescue Nigeria from the poor leadership the outgoing APC administration has taken us to.
“In the 2023 elections, we must look beyond partisan political lines to elect leaders who have been tested and trusted. Not those with criminal tendencies and thrive on lies, falsehood and deceit as their signature traits,” he emphasised.
He then urged all Nigerians to be vigilant during this festive season and cooperate with the security agencies and report every suspicious movement of criminal elements in and around their areas, particularly the terrorists invading our communities to kill and displace our people from their ancestral homes.
