” I plead with us to be patient with one another and be prayerful for God intervention in our socioeconomic and political activities.

” We need to continue to sensitize people on how to live in peace and harmony for peace,progress and for the continue existence as a nation .

Babangida, urged Nigerians to continue to have faith in the unity of the country and remain resolute that Nigeria will get better.

Babangida said that if the media and journalists ignore the spreaders of hate, they will not have a platform to pass across their messages.

“You are doing enough to promote the unity of the country. You can change the psychic of Nigerians.

” I implore you to ignore those that preach hate and disunity. Ignore them and don’t bother about them.”

The former President said that the media can shape how Nigerians behave, stressing that they should put in more deliberate efforts so that they would be able to change the Nigerian narrative.

“You can only do this through objective reportage and I like the debate that is ongoing in the media, it is giving the people the insight that they need to see. What the media is doing now is very good.”

Appreciating God for seeing him through the years, the Elder statesman said that patience is a virtue that has shaped him in the journey of life while faith has kept him through everything.

“I give thanks to God for keeping me through these years. The lessons I have learnt over the years that have shaped me are patience and respect for every human being as human beings.

” Nigerians should learn to imbibe these virtues. “he said ( NAN / vitalnewsngr.com)
