Bothered by the rate of inflammatory statements by sectional leaders in the county, former President Obasanjo, warned those calling for the disintegration of Nigeria to desist from such acts.
While speaking during the maiden forum of the Zero Hunger Initiative in Makurdi over
the weekend, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, fired warning to those fanning the embers of crisis in the country to desist.
Obasanjo maintained that Nigeria was a great country with lots of potentials, noting that though there were imperfections in the
system, it called for correction and not songs of disintegration, adding that the unity of the country was the responsibility
of all.
He said: “Non of us should be tired of doing our best for this country.
I have confidence in Nigeria and we all should.
“Those who keep singing the songs of disunity, whether young or old, are doing this country a great disservice and should
desist. And those who have led this country at any level in the past have greater responsibilities to ensure the country works,
rather than singing songs of disunity and war.”
This is coming at a time when a coalition of Northern Youths gave Igbos a three months
ultimatum to vacate their region .
Also several groups like the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for
the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, are calling for the division of the country.
