Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has welcomed the olive branch extended to him by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo and urged Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of forgiveness in the interest of national unity.
In a statement issued by his media office in Abuja
on Monday, Atiku said ‘’forgiveness is divinely inspired and is an oil that
lubricates the wheels of continued human interactions and engagements.”
The former vice president commended Obasanjo, his
“former boss, for taking this bold and Godly step in the interest of the nation
and humanity.”
According to Atiku, the process of national healing
and reconciliation should advance to a new level and extend to other citizens
of our great nation, who may have had grievances against one another.
He urged politicians to learn from the words of
Mahatma Ghandi, that an eye for an eye, will make our nation go blind.
“When I made a similar effort few years ago, it was
on the conviction that it would not be beneficial to me before Allah, if I went
to the grave with bitterness. Let us forgive one another so that we can team up
for national rebirth,” Atiku urged Nigerians.
He maintained that even if one disagrees with
Obasanjo, no one would doubt his firm commitment to the unity of Nigeria.
