Nigeria needs forgiveness, reconciliation to overcome cycle of violence – Lalong
On
By Marie-Therese Nanlong
Bloodshed, destruction of property and cycle of violence in the country will not abate except Nigerians learn to forgive one another and foster peaceful coexistence in communities.
This was the view of Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, expressed on Sunday during an inter-denominational service at St. Louis Catholic Church, Jos to mark the State’s third Day of Forgiveness and Reconciliation.
The Governor noted that although acts of criminality must be swiftly investigated and punished by Government and its relevant organs, the long-term ambition of every Nigerian who desires peace is to tow the path of forgiveness and reconciliation.
