He said RATTAWU has the capacity to promote the cooperate entity of the country noting that tensions erupting from ethnic identity can be doused through Arts and proper information.
His words”first and foremost is the issue of tolerance we should be able to accommodate and tolerated one another because we have come a long way. Nigeria as a country, with Federal system in practice and we believe in federalism. We have to accommodate each and every one of us. In the six geo political zones in Nigeria, we have different ethnic groups, different understanding, different perspectives, different angles of assessing situations. However, there must be total decorum, we must believe that we must remain as one. This can only be achieved through advocacy visit, enlightenment, education and other measures that would ensure that unity is ascertained in Nigeria.”
Comrade Sanni described RATTAWU as the largest Union in country that is saddled with the responsibility of marketing the country to the outside world.
He urged members of the Union across the country to be good ambassador of the Union and focus more on issues that will promote peace in the country.
