The Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday said that Nigeria is ‘truly united’ and that nothing would make the country disintegrate.
He stated this on Saturday when he visited the Emir of Katagum, Umar Farouk, in Bauchi State.
He said, “This is one occasion where you will find that our country is truly a united country and that nothing can separate this country, not ethnicity or religion or class.
“There is nothing that can separate this country. In fact, this is excellent evidence of the fact that this country is united.
“Katagum Emirate is a place where your royal highness has continuously demonstrated the willingness to accommodate people from all parts of the country.
“Every one of us is here because of our personal relationship with you, this is the way leadership should be.”
Osinbajo’s comment is coming as agitations for self-determination and break up of the country continue to mount.
Perceived imbalance in the governance of the country and the government failures to address raging insecurity in many parts of the country appear to be fueling these agitations.
