Special Adviser to President
Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has weighed in on the
demand for self determination by South-east groups and the quit notice served
on Igbo in the North by Arewa youths.
The presidential aide spoke
during an annual dialogue dinner organized by UFUK Dialogue Foundation in
Abuja.
He said, “One thing that struck
me at this UFUK Dialogue programme is this saying ‘Reserve a seat In Your Heart
for Everyone.’ That is the solution to the complexity that constitutes the
problem in a country like Nigeria, in terms of interrelationship.
“If you reserve a seat in your
heart for everyone, you won’t promote insurrection. You won’t demand for your
own Republic. If you reserve a place in your heart for everyone, you wouldn’t
give a Quit Notice to anybody on the basis of tribe because we will be able to
live together despite our diversity.
“So, I believe that what UFUK
Dialogue is promoting, year after year, month after month, week after week, day
after day, is something that is very salutary. I will want to encourage
everyone to please embrace it.”
