The Eze Igbo of Zuba, Chief Igwe Ugwuagbo Raymond, has said he always mobilizes his kinsmen to pray for a united Nigeria.
Raymond stated this during a security meeting summoned by the Agora of Zuba, Alhaji Muhammad Bello Umar III, at his palace on Tuesday, which had various security agents, religious leaders, village/district heads as well as Ardo of Fulani in attendance.
He said the Igbo residents of the area have lived there for over 30 years and have invested a lot there, adding that some of them have also married in the area hence the Igbo community in Zuba have no other place to go.
The Igbo leader said he has also asked other ethnic groups in the area to join them in prayers, saying problems can be solved with prayers.
Earlier, the Agora of Zuba, said the palace decided to summon a security meeting to once again caution ethnic groups’ leaders and chiefs to rein in their people who may be making provocative utterances that could cause tension among people of the chiefdom.
The traditional ruler, therefore, urged the people of Zuba chiefdom to continue to live in peace with each other irrespective of their ethnic differences.
He called on village heads and community leaders to always report strange persons in their midst to the appropriate security agents.
