There are reasons to believe that our politicians and religious leaders share different values at varying times that are mostly in conflict with national model. These conflicting identities do not give confidence or reveal the truth about who they are or what they stand for and do not reveal the truth.
And mostly, they cause confusion, hate, tension and crises. The fact is that if they stand on the truth and not on their interest, their values will not depend on time and circumstances. Pantami as a scholar and political leader has proved that we all perceive things based on time, circumstance and our identity based on what we represent at a particular time. It is a mark of lack of fairness and we now know that sentiment, tribalism and identity are defined as truth in Nigeria. How do we escape this bias in our national life?
