Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State has described being a peacemaker as a difficult task but noted that it remains his key achievement.
He said this on Sunday in Abuja at the formal installation of the recently elected executives of the North-Central zone of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
“Ordinarily, to be a peacemaker is not an easy task, because there is that temptation of people thinking that you have taken side with while you’re struggling to manage the center.” said Lalong, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Job Creation and Entrepreneurship, Barr. Samuel Kwamkur.
“But we have been able to achieve it in Plateau State. It is a major achievement that we have attained,” he added.
Also speaking at the event, the Methodist Archbishop of Abuja, Most Revd Michael Adewale, expressed optimism that Nigeria would never disintegrate.
He urged Nigerians to embrace peace and unity, stating that “Nigeria will never disintegrate; God will preserve our country, Nigeria. Our collective affirmation is that God Almighty will prosper this nation.”
