Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says Nigeria’s problems will
increase if the country breaks apart.
The vice-president spoke on Thursday when members of the
Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo support group visited him in Abuja.
Osinbajo said “it is wrong” for Nigeria, which is the
largest economy in Africa, to break apart.
“We must never relent in ensuring that we keep to the ideals
of the country and we don’t lose sight of what we are trying to achieve here,”
he said.
“People who suggest that the country breaks up, whatever may
be the reason for their views, are certainly not correct and we must say so to
them at every turn.
“The unity of this country is important for all of the
different ethnicities, religions, everybody. Whatever the group or ideology,
unity is important for every one of us.
“If you fragment, the problems are going to multiply,
poverty will multiply.”
Osinbajo said the president remains focused on putting an
end to insecurity, adding that the challenges bedevelling Nigeria will be
resolved soon.
“The president has always remained steadfast and focused in
resolving the problems of the country beginning with security,” he said.
“He is a steady hand; he is unflappable, he is not panicky,
he is focused and looking at the security issues every day, and trying to
advance the best possible solutions.
Earlier, Usman Ibrahim, the national coordinator of the
visiting group, commended Osinbajo for his commitment to leadership and
promotion of national unity.
Ibrahim said Osinbajo’s performance in office, his humility,
loyalty, professionalism and dedication
to duty were enviable.
