From: Femi Oyelola in Kaduna

Southern Kaduna Christian Leaders Association (SKCLA) has raised concerns about the growing use of religion as a tool for sectional interests.

The Chairman of the Association, Apostle Dr. Emmanuel Nuhu Kure stated this in his message to felicitate with the Muslims Ummah on the completion of the Ramadan fasting and Eid-el-Fitr.

According to him, leadership in a multi-religious, multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria must be inclusive and sensitive to the aspirations of all Nigerians, noting that when governance leans towards exclusivity, it risks weakening the bonds that hold the country together.

While congratulating the Muslim community on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast, he opined that this sacred period of devotion, sacrifice, and prayer is a time of deep spiritual renewal, and he commended their dedication to seeking God’s mercy and guidance.
