Monday 25th Oct.2021:The Archbishop of Kaduna Anglican Church Diocese, Right Reverend Timothy Yahaya, has called on Buhari to unite Nigerians and avoid anything that may cause division among citizens.
 The cleric who spoke with newsmen yesterday in Kaduna,disclosed that the ethnic division in Nigeria has almost torn the nation apart and gradually destroyed the basis of unity among citizens also reminding the President of the oath he took when he assumed office and his promise to live by it, while urging him to resolve all ethnic and religious diversity tearing the country apart.
The Bishop cited the current agitation for succession as a product of injustice inherent in the country, saying it was unfortunate that Nigerians now pay more allegiance to their ethnic and religious entities instead of seeing themselves as full-fledged Nigerians devoid of primordial background.
Yahaya said: “If in Iboland today, the people are given Biafra; right in Iboland, I know when you go to Imo State, the Okigwe man will want to be the leader, same for the Orlu man. So, when you give Biafra, it won’t end the agitations. If we have a problem, let’s acknowledge that we have a problem and solve it.”
He  cited the problems of “marginalisation, oppression, segregation and problems of religious differences as the realities hunting the nation.”
