President Buhari yesterday at the Katsina Elder Statesmen meeting held at the Presidential Lodge, Katsina State yesterday May 9th, blasted Biafra agitators and other groups calling for the division of Nigeria. He said the lives of many Nigerians who died fighting for the unity of the country would be in vain if such call is allowed to happen.
President Buhari concluded by saying that, it will be better for all Nigerians to drown in a sea than for Nigeria to ever break up.
"Recently, some people who were not even born during the war are saying they want to divide Nigeria. I always say the civil war was fought for the unity of Nigeria because then we hadn’t even discovered oil let alone enjoying it. But two million people were killed.
The way the Sahara is advancing, with Boko Haram, growing number of people and uncertainty over rainfall, in a land where we fought civil war leading to the death of about two million, for someone to just say he will chase us out? So where do we go?For Nigeria to divide now, it is better for all of us to jump into the sea and get drowned”he said Source: Thenatioonlineng.com
