Kukah made the call at the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation’s 2022 peace conference in Abuja.
The bishop, a panelist at the conference, said electoral violence in Nigeria was attributable to lack of discipline among political actors.
“Ordinary Nigerians have no problem with religion; it is the manipulation and systemic manipulation of our different identities that are responsible for our violence,’’ he stressed.
He charged religious leaders to do their best to sensitize the public on the need for peace.
Kukah insisted that political actors must play their roles in ensuring peace and eschewing violent conduct.
