The Vicar of St Simon’s
Anglican Church, Ikuru Town in Andoni Local Government Area, Ven Atanfut A. Ogbidor, has cautioned politicians against utterances that will further create divisions in  the society.
Ven Ugbidor who said this during a thanksgiving service by the Andoni Local Government chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)  in Ikuru Town, urged politicians irrespective of different political parties to see themselves as a united family working for the progress of the state.
The clergyman who regretted the deliberate wickedness in the hearts of men, said that time had come for members of  the society to learn  how to forgive one another, stressing that the wanton killings and destruction of property in the society had reduced man to the level of a beasts. Meanwhile, the candidate of the  APC in the last general elections, Dr Dakuku Adol Peterside has  assured that the decampees to the party would be treated equally with others. Speaking during the defection of over 500 persons to the party during a reception in Ikuru Town, Dr Peterside said that the door of the APC would not be shut against anyone who wished to join it and commended the members of the party in Andoni for their commitment towards the progress of the party.
