The Cardinal of the Abuja Catholic Diocese, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has called on Nigerians to rise above religious, political and ethnic divides to save the country from drifting into anarchy.
Onaiyekan handed down the advice on Tuesday during a sermon for the burial of two catholic priests: Rev Frs. Felix Tyolaha and Joseph Gor, at Ayati, a small agrarian hilly village on the outskirts of Ikpayongo in Gwer East local Government Council of Venue State.
