President Bola Tinubu has said terrorists despise Nigeria because it chooses tolerance over tyranny, adding that its bitter experience has shown that violence never ends where it begins.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented President Bola Tinubu at the ongoing 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, delivered the national statement on behalf of the country.
Speaking on global security challenges, Shettima said terrorist groups across regions sought to poison humanity with hate and division.
He explained that Nigeria’s stand against violence was not only because of international law but also due to its own experience with insurgency.
On the Israel-Palestine crisis, the federal government reiterated its support for a two-state solution as the most dignified path to peace.
