Nigerians are poor not because Nigeria is not endowed but due to massive stealing – Osinbajo

The Acting President on Wednesday urged Nigerians to exercise caution in their utterances and respect each other in their conversations and interactions to foster national unity. 

Speaking at a seminar on national unity and stability at the DSS Training School, Bwari, Abuja, Osinbajo also advised the citizenry to shun all narratives which foment trouble and create divisions and embrace those that unite.

According to the Acting President, the language of exchange in the country must be civil and we must not tolerate a situation where people speak in any way they like.

He was reacting to hate speeches which had crept up in different sections of the country, thereby heating up the polity.
