Nothing can break up this country because God has brought us together” – Abdulsalami Abubakar

Former military head of state of the country, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), has declared that despite the lingering security challenges facing the country and the unhealthy agitations by a few, Nigeria would remain an indivisible country.

Abubakar was speaking with newsmen in Makurdi, the Benue State capital after paying a courtesy call on Governor Gabriel Suswam. He stated that the country was passing through trying moments but insisted that the nation would soon overcome the challenges.

The former head of state also pointed out that Nigerians had intermingled for a long time and lived with obvious developmental challenges which would make it even difficult for the country to break up.

In his words, “This is not the first time I am saying this; all the secession threats here and there with the security challenges are mere noise because we have deeply intermingled; wherever you go, you see Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Kanuris and others, so there is nothing that can break up this country because God has brought us together”. He then urged Nigerians to stand up and assist the present administration overcome the developmental challenges facing the nation, adding, “Government alone cannot do it, every citizen must join hands with government to tackle the problem of insecurity”.
