President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to keep Nigeria as one by using all
sources at his disposal to make sure the country remains one and united.
The President who spoke at the palace of the Emir of Katsina, during his visit to his
home town in Katsina State, said he will rather die than to see the country divide
under his watch.
According to the President, the country fought a civil war, which claimed over two
million lives in order to be united.
Addressing the newsmen after delivering a speech at the state’s economic and
investment forum which he will officially declare open, Buhari warned the current
separatist agitation for Biafra being promoted by a group, the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), that it would be better for the entire country to commit mass suicide
than to allow such campaign succeed.
He referred to the promoters of the agitation as “kids” who were not born during the
civil war. According to Buhari, “today, Nigeria is a strong and united sovereign entity
because some people laid down their lives for the country.
At least two million people died during the civil war but, today, some people who
were not born during the civil war are agitating for the division of the country. We will
not let that happen.
“For Nigeria to divide now, it is better for all of us to jump into the sea and get
drowned.”
