The Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi has said that any Nigerian who is thinking of Nigeria breaking up is wasting his time.
The governor, who spoke to news men shortly after a consultative meeting with Acting President Yemi Osinbajo in the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, said: “it has been unanimously that the unity of this country is sacrosanct, is non-negotiable and we have all agreed to work together to educate people.
“Any time you have agitation, usually there will be poverty, there will be unemployment, there will be hardship, so we should address fundamentally these areas of poverty, unemployment and hardship.
“Nigerians are by nature a united people, nobody cares whether you are from the north, south or the east.
“There unity must be there and we cannot play with the unity of this country. The consensus has been that there must be unity.
“The message is for Nigerians to work more together and collaborate. We have more to gain when we are united. We cannot afford to break, and anybody is thinking of that he is wasting his time and we will not allow it, not in this country. All of us are unanimous about that.
“To you, the media, look for what unites us and not sensations news. If we fight everybody will lose, have you ever seen a country that fought civil war and remain the same? we don’t want to be another Rwanda and Somalia and all these places. The government is doing its best.” [myad]
