Desist From Calling For Nigeria’s Breakup, Obasanjo Warns Northern Youths, IPOB, MASSOB

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has warned those “singing the songs of disunity” in Nigeria to immediately desist from such acts.

The former president who made the statement in Makurdi, the Benue state capital over the weekend said such people are doing the country a great disservice.

Obasanjo, who said that he has confidence in the country, urged Nigerians to do same.

According to him, despite imperfections in the system, Nigeria remained a great country with lots of potentials.

He said, “None 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.”

Recall that only few days ago, a coalition of Northern Youths gave Igbos a three months ultimatum to vacate their region .

Similarly, 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.
