“Also, as far as our social engagements are concerned and our social cultural issues and interest are to be taken into consideration.

“No religion should have dominion over another; no ethnic group should have dominion over others.

”No social class should have dominion over the other as Nigeria belongs to everyone.

“Any choice anyone is making, he or she should put into consideration the aforementioned,” the Deputy-Governor said.

“This conference will preach peace to Nigeria and ensure there is peace, I am sure all religion preaches peace and none preaches violence.

”As Christians and Muslims, we are the two major faiths and we need to do what pleases God and would develop our nation,” he said.

Most Rev Joseph Job, the Methodist Archbishop of Abuja Diocese, urged Christians to prepare their minds on issues bothering the nation, through prayers
