Referencing Soldiers by their Religion is Divisive and Toxic – Shehu Sani

Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has condemned the act of describing soldiers by their religious practice.

He described the act as condemnable, divisive, and toxic.

In a tweet he shared via his Twitter handle. Sani expressed that with the current security challenges facing the country there is a need for national solidarity and united action, especially from the troops at the forefront of the fight.

He wrote:

“Referencing our soldiers as Muslims or Christians is a condemnable act. It is divisive & toxic. The security challenges in our country demand a united action and national solidarity. Sowing the seeds of religiosity in the minds of our troops on the frontlines is noxious & dangerous.”
