Those talking about Nigeria’s break-up should have a re-think — Buhari to Biafra agitators

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday reiterated the essence of the unity of Nigeria, urging those contemplating its break-up to have a rethink.

He made the call while speaking at a meeting with the Council of South-East Traditional Rulers at the State House, Abuja.

Buhari, according to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, warned that the question of having another country out of Nigeria was misplaced.

“The question of having another country out of Nigeria is going to be very difficult.  From 1914, we have more than 200 cultures living with one another. God had endowed this country with natural resources and talented people.  We should concentrate on these and be very productive,” the President said.

Addressing specific issues raised in the address by the traditional rulers, the President gave the assurance that the South-East will also benefit from the new railway architecture being put in place by his administration.
