A former Head of State, retired General Abdulsalami Abubakar has called on Nigerians to raise the bar of peace in all their endeavors. He made the remarks at the second General Abdulsalami Abubakar Foundation Annual Peace Lecture on Saturday in Minna, Niger State. He said Nigeria is walking a tightrope as regard peace and security, while advocating for urgent measures to prevent the rope from snapping midway.

The former Nigerian leader said the theme for the lecture, “Good politics at the service of peace: The role of eminent persons in the prevention and management of conflict” was apt in view of the discontents and tension that trailed the last general elections. “As we commemorate the International Day of Peace, we must raise the bar of peace and always walk the long to peace in all endeavors,” he noted.

He observed that the current tensed situation require collective efforts by all the country’s stakeholders to prevent it from boiling over. “We cannot bequeath chaos, disunity, a state of insecurity and hopelessness to the future generations of Nigerians,” he pointed out.

Abubakar urged youths to embrace the virtues of tolerance, fairness and respect for human dignity and avoid vices that disrupt sustainable peace and development. Speaking on “climate change for peace” which is the theme of this year’s International Day for Peace, the former head of state said the dwindling natural resources has further exacerbated the conflict.

Delivering his lecture at the event, Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello advocated for dialogue in resolving conflicts instead of military option which he pointed out further exacerbates crisis rather than resolving them. He decried the rising insecurity across the country with each region experiencing its peculiar crisis, while calling on stakeholders to come with urgent measures to tackling the roots of the menace. He also called on the media to play the role of peace makers and nation builders by playing down on hate speeches.

Stupid man, you should have thought about that before you gave us this useless 1979 constitution in 1998 that is also hindering our unity and growth

Ok

Well said!

Abdulssalam knows the way to Aso rock, he is a frequent visitor there. He should address his message to the occupant or send an email :

One of the Vultures that put the Younger Generation of Nigerians into this mess is Talking.
Why did you not hand over a peoples oriented Constitution like the regional Constitution during your handover to Civil rule in 1999? Instead you gave handed over a Sharia friendly and military friendly constitution to Obasanjo.
Your day of reckoning is coming.

Too late. Did he just wake up from coma?

the most tricky one of them, everybody knows him as the green snake , the great pretender is at it again! we know his antics

Abdulsalami the CIA General...

The main man that some how benefited from Abacha's death and exactly one month after they also eliminated Abiola

very smart man, And since they got Abiola out of the way they searched for a fantastically corrupt General from prison to come and wear Agbada and continue decieving us with their slavish constitiution given them immuinity, seciurity votes and maximum power..

My main joy is that by 2023, all the Evil Generals trained by the west to disrupt our good governace of the 1st republic when our N1 was $1 and education was at his best would have been old and worn out, we cant now focus on ourselves, and govern ourselves without western manipulation

How can we have unity when u guys up north and south west dont want igbos to rule ..or dont trust igbos enough

Some says its IPOB bullshit but north had boko haram yet ruled ,south south had militant yet rule

U cant live with someone u dont trust ...igbo have voted every region in nigeria ...if we dont get the chance to rule then we may just be allowed to leave

Abdul, red oil that has spilled has spilled... I won't be talking with you again. Goodnight fellas.

The yahoo ex general pls u av not told us how abiola died under your regime.

But you can procure the future of the nation under non chaos like you did with AEDC and co. Most of you people have many questions to answer with God.

TechCapon:
you can't blame him

he is benefiting from the status quo. He got the licences for one of the discos . He is part of the problem and should keep shut

IGBO PRESIDENCY...and the time is right for that and VICE PRESIDENCY for the MIDDLE BELT

Nobi this guy kill Abiola? under his watch abiola was murdered, so how is he a peace maker? nonsense!

Too late for this talk.
Una don bequeath am already...

Ion think the youths we have now will act any differently when, infact if sef, it gets to their turn to handle power.
Somehow, all that has happened within the last 20 years have been entrenched in their brains.

Why are you so bitter? I didn't insult Abdulsalami. I only said that he has never mentioned a word on the excesses of the Fulani herdsmen and bandits just like Atiku hasn't. How can we have peace in the midst of chaos? See bro, I don't fight APC-PDP war. I am for neither. I am only for good governance. I love Nigeria and I am praying things get better for all of us while hustling on my small lane legitimately. Bless up!

This one has been programmed to blame all his failing on Fulani. Please TIvs and Jukuns who are killing each are not Nigerians that you decietful bunch have closed your mouth. Na so person go boost brand value on top falsehood and tribL bitterness.

These people always know the truth but always refuse to implement it when they are in power. They only realize they messed up when they are out of power, by which time, they are already becoming victims of their mess ups.

But una fit bequeath POVERTY and SUFFERING abi?

Eya, sorry o. Zombies are the most heartless humans I have ever seen. Imagine they knew the the dullard has failed but they are still forcing him on us because of pride and ego
