Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, has rejected calls for the separation of Nigeria.
This statement was
made during a special Ramadan prayer attended by Chief
Bisi Akande, members of Lagos Governor’s Advisory Council, State cabinet
members, Oba of Lagos, Alayeluwa Rilwan Akiolu, and members of the business
community, led by Alhaji Aliko Dangote, among others in Lagos on Sunday.
Grand Chief Imam of Lagos, Sheikh
Oluwatoyin Abou-Nolla, led the clerics to the event held at the State House,
Marina.
Tinibu told those clamouring for secession
to shun the idea, warning against war witnessed in countries like Sudan and
Iraq.
He said, “For those clamouring for war, God
will not allow Nigeria to experience war. If we say Nigeria should separate,
people should remember what war caused in Sudan and Iraq. Such war does not end
on time. We are yet to recover from the civil war.
