Christian Youth Leaders Condemn Ethno-Religious Attacks on Atiku, Praise His Pan-Nigerian Appeal

The Coalition of Christian Youth Leaders in the North East has condemned recent ethno-religious attacks against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. In a press statement from Gombe State, the group said such rhetoric deepens religious and ethnic tensions at a time of national challenges. They specifically criticized comments attributed to former SGF Babachir David Lawal as divisive and inflammatory. The coalition warned that identity-based politics threatens national cohesion and peaceful coexistence. Highlighting Atiku’s longstanding commitment to unity, the group described him as a pan-Nigerian figure with support across faiths and ethnicities. They urged political actors to prioritize competence, equity, and inclusiveness over sectarian interests. The Christian youth leaders called on Nigerians to reject exclusionary politics and work toward a democratic system founded on fairness, equal representation, and lasting peace.
