Information reaching the Viewers Corner News from our correspondent in Abuja, Nigeria reveals that the northern elders have condemned the recent provocative statement made by Mr. Shehu Mahdi. They called it a horrible one, capable of inciting violence in the country. The Viewers Corner News team applauds the northern elders for coming out strong against Mr. Shehu Mahdi’s statement. Mr. Shehu Mahdi, to some Nigerians, is an activist, but to the Viewers Corner News team, he is a segregationist. Perhaps Mr. Shehu Mahdi finds joy in seeing Nigerians in pain rather than seeing them united. Who knows? Such a man, speaking recklessly, should be completely discarded. Nigerians should cast their votes for any presidential candidate of their choice, irrespective of ethnicity. In doing so, the country will be united. The Viewers Corner News team pleads with all Nigerians to avoid taking to heart issues that would cause disunity among all tribes and religious groups across the country. Not too long ago, it was revealed that a pastor in Lagos said that because he is a Yoruba man, he would vote for Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu. That he will not leave the Yoruba man and vote for another tribesman, irrespective of the person’s capacity. Playing such a tribal card in a church shows how backward that pastor is. Hence, the Viewers Corner News team is appealing to all Nigerians to avoid any church where such preaching is carried out. In that church, there are other people from other tribes. How would they feel hearing from their pastor speaking in such a reckless manner? It is a disgraceful act, which should be condemned completely. Again, let the unity of Nigeria be the priority of all Nigerians.
