National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu says Nigeria is better as one country, and seccession agitation by some sections of the country can plunge it into a civil war, which may lead to its breakup.
He said this at special Ramadan prayer in Lagos on Sunday.
“God will not allow Nigeria to experience it (war). If we say Nigeria should separate, people should remember what war caused in Sudan and Iraq,” Tinubu said.
“Such war does not end in time. We are yet to recover from the civil war. We are better together.
“I have nowhere I am going. Whoever has experienced war in the past will not pray for such. Nigeria will not separate; it’s not acceptable to us. Our prayer is for prosperity and more wealth for the country.”
