Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has revealed 2023 general election will punish politicians causing religious divisions in the country.
He spoke while commissioning the head office of the Sultan Foundation for Peace and Development.
He lamented that some politicians were using churches and religious centres for campaigns.
“I think this election causes for us a very unique opportunity to take religion out of politics in Nigeria and punish those that are trying to use religion as a tool.
“But some people are campaigning in churches, some are holding internal meetings with religious leaders to promote ethnic and religious division, it is the last thing Nigeria needs now at a time when the whole world is facing challenges ultra-nationalism and global supply chain disruption,” he said.
Lately, some politicians like the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has been visiting some of the top most churches in Nigeria.
