Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has told the Tiv nation worldwide that one of the biggest threat to Nigeria is impunity, not diversity.
Atiku said this in a goodwill message to the Tiv on the occasion of the Tiv Cultural Day 2025.
The politician stressed that criminal elements must never be allowed to define relations between communities that have shared centuries of neighbourliness and mutual respect.
He was speaking against the backdrop of incessant attacks and killings in the region.
“Our diversity is not a threat; impunity is,” he said.
The chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), condemned atrocities of insecurity, calling for decisive and sustained action to restore security to the region and rebuild trust.
He urged the Tiv nation to continue their commitment to unity, peace, and resilience.
“I stand firmly in solidarity with His Royal Majesty, the Tor Tiv, Professor James Iorzua Ayatse, esteemed members of the Tiv Area Traditional Council, and distinguished sons and daughters of the Tiv Nation on this auspicious occasion,” he said.
