THE Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) National President and General Superintendent of Gospel Light International Ministries (GLIM), Rev. Felix Omobude, has called on Nigerians to play down on ethnicity and religion in order to strengthen the nation’s independence at 55.

Omobude made this known in an interview with The Guardian on the nation’s 55 year of independence.

He emphasised that Nigerians must understand that Nigeria is greater than any individual or group of persons.

Omobude said: “We must see ourselves, all of us, as people made by God. We come from the same maker and then God placed us in one entity called Nigeria.

“We must see our neighbours and appreciate that God puts us together irrespective of the tribe, tongue or faith. We should live together in harmony and see ourselves as brothers and sisters.
