Chief Olusegun Runsewe, Director-General, National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), has called on Nigerians to support the President Bola Tinubu-led administration and shun religious bigotry and ethnicity.
Runsewe said this during an interactive session on Wednesday in Abuja, with the theme ‘#puttingnigeriafirst#’.
According to him, after the general elections and the swearing-in of President Tinubu in May, NCAC observed that the nation is still in election mood.
He said it was disheartening that some Nigerians were still on issues surrounding ethnicity and religious differences when the nation ought to have moved forward.
“This meeting is a strategic response to the socio-political situations of the moment and the need to arrest the pervading hostility in our socio-political space.
“We want to draw attention to the need to put Nigeria first in all we do as citizens. The 2023 general elections have been successfully concluded and a new administration inaugurated.
“His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, has promised to run an all-inclusive government of national unity, reconciliation and competence.
“The process of rebuilding the Nigeria of our dreams has commenced in earnest with Mr President demonstrating sheer competence, commitment, unflinching resolve to restore hope in the Nigerian project.
“I encourage everyone to embrace his government, give neccesary support to move our dear nation forward,” he said.
