AFCON has shown patriotism in Nigerians – Lawyer

An Ogun State-born lawyer and economic expert, Dr Gbenga Adeoye, has called on those dividing Nigerians alongside religious, ethnic and tribe to repent or face the wrath of God.

Adeoye said unity and loyalty Nigerians have exhibited in supporting the Super Eagles in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast, demonstrated that the countrymen are patriotic, but only being divided along religious and ethnicity by the powers that be.

He said this in a statement titled “Nigerians are patriotic”, a copy which was made available to our correspondent in Abeokuta.

While sharing his experience in Abuja on Wednesday before Nigeria – South Africa match, Adeoye said he saw “vehicles running like trying to catch a flight, but it was to rush home to watch the match.”

He noted that some Nigerians needed to stop at restaurants and public places nearby to just be part of the match, saying, “I am sure kidnappers will not operate even in dangerous zones.”

Adeoye said “Those dividing us along religion, tribe or ethnicity should repent or face the wrath of God.

“I therefore say Nigerians are PATRIOTIC and if you are a Nigerian; let’s love our fellow Nigerian and our dear country. Let us speak peace and progress to the soul of this country.

“Do not destroy the country with your words and action. I believe that Nigeria will become great again, if we all join hands to address our challenges and those in Government become humble to listen to those outside and of course become flexible with our policies by adjusting or eliminating any policy that is counterproductive and breeding Poverty and hunger to avert National Anger.”
