| President Muhammadu Buhari |
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday lashed out at Biafra
agitators and other groups calling for the division of Nigeria. According to
Buhari, many people who fought during the Nigerian civil war laid down their
lives for the unity of this country and it will be wicked to allow their
sacrifice be in vain.
The president who was speaking at the Emir of Katsina,
Abdulmumini Kabiru Usman's palace, stated that it will be better for all
Nigerians to drown in a sea than for Nigeria to ever break up.
According to him, "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
