He also warned looters of the public treasures to return their loots as a condition for their personal peace.
The President gave the warning while receiving a cross section of Nigerians most whom were Muslims who were in his residence within the precinct of the presidential villa to pay him sallah homage on Wednesday.
The President who recalled the famous quotes of former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon said that the task of keeping Nigeria as one indivisible entity was a task that must be done. He said: “We have to concentrate on the militants to try to know how many of them in terms of groupings, try to get in touch with their leadership, to try to persuade them to please give Nigeria a chance.
“I assure them that when we were very junior officers, we were told by our leaders, by the Head of State which was Gen. Gowon that to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done…we never thought of oil. What we were after is one Nigeria. Please, pass the message to the militants that one Nigeria is not negotiable. And I pray they better accept it. The constitution is very clear…I assure them there would justice.
“And please persuade those who have plenty of money that does not belong to them to try and negotiate, return it in peace so that both them and us will be in peace otherwise we will continue to request”.

You will soon find out that Nigeria has gone beyond the 1960s. Make no mistake in believing that this is boko haram created in the north by God knows who? In the quest to keep nigeria one,you know that the only reason was oil. The only way you will ever know peace is only if your hands are free from shedding innocent blood! Britain just left the european Union. So,what are you talking about? To continue in this leech like union? God forbid. You know what to do to keep arewa one.
ReplyDeleteOff course it will not be negotiable to you and your region sucking the niger delta dry. If niger delta leaves northern nigeria to fend for itself it will be like yemen or Somalia. Just look at niger Republic as an example. Off you and your people will be ready to die for one Nigeria. What is the definition of a parasite? Enemy of progress region since before independence. Without them I can 100 percent say that nigeria would not be in such a mess. All since independence. Why do they shout one Nigeria more than everyone else? Even the people they rule are the poorest and most gullible. Nigeria is a shame to the black race and a pleasure to every racist. Divide this contraption of a zoo or confederate it now!
