“Our pursuit of peace cannot be achieved in isolation of the pursuit of justice
and other human security needs.
“This is so because peace is the bridge that links poverty to
prosperity, reconciles hope with despair and imposes order on chaos.
“There is no doubt that our nation is plagued by many crises and these challenges have continued to threaten our fate and shared destinies.
“We have lost our loved ones, lost millions of properties and
investment because of insecurity.
“The challenges posed by banditry, terrorism and other
associated crimes threaten our human essence and the essential values of our
democracy and nationhood and the crisis
facing Nigeria today required sacrifice and urgency of actions from all
stakeholders.
“We must, therefore, show commitment to peace, in words, in action
and in all other necessary means,” he appealed

Such words must be documented not only by Nigerians but all African
Countries and areas of the world currently facing unrest
