The Senate President, Bukola
Saraki, has tasked Senators from the South East region to seriously educate
their constituents on the need to maintain the unity of Nigeria.
Speaking during a meeting with
the South East Senate caucus, Saraki said that the National Assembly was
spearheading the fight against calls for disintegration of the country.
He added that the meeting became
imperative because of the urgent need to save Nigeria from total collapse.
He said “You must all go to your
constituencies to douse tension as Nigeria cannot afford another civil war
against.
”The senate is trying to look at
the peaceful coexistence of all Nigerians.
“And for us to move forward, I
want Senators from the South East to live up to expectation in getting the
people to tread softly.
“Nigerians must be made to
reflect deeply that not all the countries of the world want us as a country to
remain as one, to remain united as a country with 170 million people and for us
to disintegrate to 30 million cannot work, it cannot help us as our strength as
a country would be threatened.
“It had been predicted that
Nigeria will break in 2015 and thank God that we outlived that and these
countries are not happy that we are still together hence they want us to divide
which explains why I am going on with these meetings, preaching peaceful
coexistence among one another.”

Saraki, thank you. But you need to look at the points at issue and first educate those behind them so that they can stop reliving centuries gone by.
