Despite the fact that some groups in the South East (Biafra) and West (Oduduwa nation) have been agitating for secession, ACF on Monday, through its spokesman, Emmanuel Yawe, said
“the North can never support secessionists because Nigeria is relatively okay the way it is,” Sahara Reporters reported.
Yawe, in his statement made it clear that any individual calling for separation is calling for war.
He said Nigeria is so integrated to the point that it would be impossible for it to separate without war.
Adding that the civil war maybe more serious war than what had happened between 1967 and 1970.
He said, “We don’t want the country to break up. It is better the way it is, even with all the problems.”
Speaking further, he said that Nigeria has many problems facing the country but those problems are not enough for us to break up.
He said the challenges could be resolved. Adding that Nigeria is a great country and other African countries are looking up to Nigeria and are jealous because of the numerous resources God has blessed us with.
We don’t want Nigeria to break up, hmmm! One Nigeria. What’s your take on this development?
