Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti, has called on secessionist
groups in the country to embrace dialogue in the interest of keeping the
country united.
Fayemi said this on Saturday at a public lecture to mark the
21st anniversary of the Aminu Kano Centre for Democratic Studies.
He said splitting the country into independent nations is
not the solution to the challenges, adding that secessionist groups should be
summoned for dialogue and convinced to drop their agitations.
”United we stand, divided we fall. Countries like United States of America and former Soviet Union were united and that is the basis of their strength and weapon towards its continuous socio-economic development and advancement,” he said.
“All the aggrieved
secessionist groups should be brought under one umbrella and dialogue, toward
an amicable settlement of their differences, so as to remain united and
indivisible.”
The governor emphasised that he is an advocate of a united
Nigeria, adding that there is a strong tendency that there would be further
splits if the country disintegrates.
He said countries, like Sudan and Somalia which have seceded
have been and still are in turmoil.
According to Fayemi, breaking the country up into segments
will result in crisis.
