\nTinubu, has called for peace among all ethnic, tribal and religious
\ngroups in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\nthe late Alhaji Lateef Jakande, the first Civilian Governor of Lagos
\nState.<\/p>\n
He said that the country was facing a crisis but all needed to live in
\nharmony and give peace a chance.<\/p>\n
\u201dNigeria is currently facing a crisis; a crisis of insurgency, banditry
\nin all aspects of security, but God Almighty that made this country as
\none of the largest and most resourceful country will protect us.<\/p>\n
\u201dI appeal, in his memory today, for us not to turn whatever challenges
\nwe are facing right now into ethnic, tribal and religion crises.<\/p>\n
\u201dIf there is a crisis, where do we go? We will submerge the entire West
\nAfrica, there will be no enough space to accommodate us.<\/p>\n
\u201dThose who have seen the effect of war, the effect of tribal conflict,
\nof religion conflict, will never want it for Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe pray to God to strengthen our mind, guide our faith, put peace and
\nbring peace unto this land, may Allah bless all of us,\u201d Tinubu said.<\/p>\n
He said that the clerics were very critical in the present situation,
\nurging them for their prayers, commitment, fasting, all the sermons
\ngeared toward peace and stability in the country.<\/p>\n
According to him, the death of the first civilian governor, Jakande is
\nnot just a loss to the family, but Lagos in general.<\/p>\n
Tinubu said that Lagos and Nigeria at large were lucky to have a man
\nlike Alhaji Lateef Jakande, drawing from his wealth of knowledge.<\/p>\n
\u201dToday, he is no more but he is still existing to the eternity, we pray
\nfor Lagos State, we pray for Nigeria to give us more people, more
\nleaders that are prudent, honest, that give priority to the world in the
\nfuture,\u201d he said. (NAN)<\/p>\n
