Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha
has said he was quoted out of context over reports that there are cracks in
Nigeria.
In a statement he personally signed, Mustapha said he did
not suggest that Nigeria will break up, affirming that the Buhari-led
government was committed to a united Nigeria.
Recall that at the Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary
Service in Abuja, NAN quoted Mustapha who represented Vice President, Yemi
Osinbajo as saying “Fortunately for us, our walls are not yet broken but have
cracks that could break if not properly addressed. We need to seek the face of
God to address the broken walls.”
But reacting he said, “I have observed with concern, the apparent sensitization of the remarks I made at the 60th Independence Anniversary Church Service, where I stood in for His Excellency, the Vice President.
“For the avoidance of
doubt, I want to affirm that His Excellency, the Vice President and I remain
very firmly and irrevocably committed to the ideal of one indivisible Nigerian
nation.
“We are also deeply appreciative of President Muhammadu
Buhari’s consistent efforts to strengthen the unity of the Nigerian nation.
“Any suggestion to the contrary is a clear misinterpretation
of our common position as a Government.”
