Stop overheating the polity, “Love your country above anything. This bickering must stop" - Gowon cautions politicians



A former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd.), has appealed to Nigerian politicians to stop overheating the polity, asking them to sheathe their swords in the overall interest of the country.
Gowon spoke in Abuja on Monday as the Chairman of the Edwin Kaigbodo Clark Foundation’s N25bn fund raising ceremony.

He said, “Love your country above anything. This bickering must stop. You must replace this bickering with love, patriotism and loyalty. Shower our fatherland with love and strength.
“Let us look at the future; there is greater room for all of us. There is no country we have than Nigeria. I am an apolitical solder. I don’t get involved in politics; I have the love and loyalty of all.”
