Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has called on Nigerians to be patriotic and pray against the problems confronting the country.

Speaking at a church service, Sunday, he said, “Every Nigerian, therefore, needs to pray because if there is peace between Christians and Muslims and peace among family members, Nigeria will definitely be a great country all of us will be proud of. It is necessary for every Nigerian to embrace peace. In the western part of this country, there is an understanding between Christians and Muslims, they are able to live together in peace and harmony, this is what I want Nigerians to emulate, so that we can achieve peace across the land.”
