Acting president Yemi Osinbajo has urged leaders across the country to speak out against hate speech and divisive comments.
He gave the charge while addressing leaders from the South East at the State house and appealed to them not to hide under any ethnic or religious platform to support comments that divide the nation.
Also present at the meeting were leaders of the National Assembly, Governors of the five South eastern States as well as Service Chiefs and some ministers.
The South Eastern leaders gave assurances that they will be able to carry the message back to their people, including those presently agitating for a separate homeland, on the need for peace.
