The National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) recently held a press conference to discuss their concerns about Nigeria's unity and the potential influence of external forces exploiting ethnic and cultural differences for their benefit.
The NCEF believes that various ethnic socio-cultural groups, such as Afenifere, Ohanaeze, Ndigbo, Arewa Consultative Group, Middle Belt Forum, and PANDEF, should delve deeper into these issues. According to the NCEF, it is external forces, rather than Nigerians themselves, who are attempting to sow discord for their own gain, with the ultimate goal of taking control of the country and its resources.
To maintain Nigeria's unity and prosperity, the NCEF advocates for the strengthening of relationships between ethnic groups and supports the devolution of power as a key strategy.
As per Sahara Reporters, They said, “The ethnic socio-cultural groups such as Afenifere, Ohanaeze, Ndigbo, Arewa Consultative Group, Middle Belt Forum, and PANDEF should consider these issues in greater detail.
“Nigerians have no problem with each other. It is external forces that are seeking to tear the country apart for hostile takeover of the land and its resources.
“The demand for devolution of power should be intensified by the ethnic nationalities.”
