Public Private Partnership expert Kazeem Abubakar reminds Nigerians that extremists do not represent Islam, Christianity, or any faith—they are enemies of peace and progress. In an interview with NAN, he highlighted Nigeria’s unity as a lived reality, not just a slogan, despite decades of insurgency and divisive predictions.
Abubakar emphasized that from Sokoto to Port Harcourt, Lagos to Maiduguri, Nigerians share core values like respect, faith, family, and hard work across religious and ethnic lines. “Our strength lies not in uniformity but in our ability to rise above differences and stand as one people,” he said.
He shared personal experiences of how insurgency affected Muslims and Christians alike, urging collective healing and rejecting divisive narratives, including claims of widespread genocide against Christians. According to him, mutual respect and community living have united Muslims and Christians for centuries in the North.
Abubakar urged Nigerians to love one another, speak peace, and defend their unity as one “NIJA,” the peace they protect today is the legacy for Nigerian children tomorrow.
