Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged Nigerians to live peacefully and shun religion violence.
Speaking during a lecture on tolerance between Christians and Muslims in Abeokuta, Ogun State, he added that the two religion are the same and not different in any way.
He said:
“If we can live in peace with our neighbour at the local, community, state, national, continental and global level, what a different world it would have been.

“Let me tell you, I went to Ile Kewu (Arabic school). In my village, mosque and church were built close to each other. When I was growing up in the village, there was no difference and I started going to Qur’anic school. What drove me away was koboko (horsewhip).
“But what I imbibed in the village when I was growing up is what I have practiced all my life.”
