The President of the Niger Delta Bishops and Ministers Forum, Dr. Julius Ediwe,  has said that God would hold religious leaders responsible for the spate of violence in the country.

He also admonished cleric to preach against religious extremism and sectarian violence in the country.
Ediwe said this when he led a delegation of Niger Delta Bishops on a courtesy call on the Executive Secretary, Abuja National Mosque Management Board, Alhaji Ibrahim Jega, on Friday in Abuja.

He said that the role of religious leaders in promoting peace and tolerance between Muslims and Christians cannot be overemphasized, adding that both Christians and Muslims should unite and pray for peace in the country.
Ediwe, who said that there could never be any meaningful development without peace, appealed to all Nigerians to live in peace with one another irrespective of their religious differences.

He also called on all Christian bodies to ensure that their followers shun all forms of violence, support the government of
President Muhammadu Buhari and pray for his quick recovery.
