Idiodi who argued that heinous crimes are not peculiar to Nigeria alone lamented,”what is worrisome is the federal government’s apparent lack of political will to stop the violent killing of armless citizens and bring the perpetrators to justice.

The leader of the Order made the remark,weekend while fielding questions from reporters in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state at the 42nd Eastern Regional Rotational Conclave (ERRC) with the theme, “the Soul’s Immortality and Universal Love”.

The Grand Administrator English West Africa, disclosed that the Rosicrucian Order being a spiritual and mystical organization has been addressing the challenges facing the country which have given rise to violence through the channel of prayers and intercessions.

“For decades, we have had cause to engage in metaphysical and spiritual practices which are design to even prevent the onset of violence”, he explained.

Idiodi said the solution for sustainable peace and unity of Nigeria could be located when Nigerians advising that Nigerians should jettison selfish interests and radiate the universal love of God among the populace, irrespective of creeds, religions and other sentiments”.

According to him, the malaise of Boko Haram, herdsmen killings, economic backwardness and corruption would fizzle out gradually, when the good virtues as enunciated by “the Supreme Intelligence” (the God Almighty) were allowed to dictate the thoughts and actions of humanity.

He, therefore, urged Nigerians from all walks of life to ponder on the things that bind the people and not those things that tend to divide them.

He noted that the love of God supersedes every personal effort at finding a lasting solution to the incessant skirmishes in the polity.

AMORC as a knowledge-based organization, according to Idiodi, would continue to propagate the virtues of the universal of love, noting that if such attributes of God were allowed to be ventilated sincerely, the country would not be thrown into feuds and killings of one another in the country.

He urged adherents to continue to be in the vanguard of safeguarding the essential characteristics of God and to deploy such values in their quest to make the world “a conducive social and spiritual environment for humanity to attain their spiritual vision and mission on earth”.

In the same vein, Prof. Gabriel Umoh, the Uyo Regional Monitor and Chairman of the Conclave’s Planning Committee, admonished Nigerians to refrain from overheating the polity with hate speeches, but embrace the virtues that promote peace and unity of Nigeria.

“On daily basis, we are inundated with hate speeches, news of violent conflicts, strife and gripping stories of wars. Indeed, it appears, and sadly so, that love seems to be scarce in the hearts of men and women alike”, he noted
