WE WILL NOT ALLOW NIGERIA TO BREAKUP — NORTHERN GOVERNORS



The Northern Governors Forum said that Northerners have never agitated for the break-up of Nigeria and that is why they are the root of this country.

“If you look at our population and what we have together is more than what anyone can hope for. So to try to destroy this is certainly a lose-lose situation. That is why we here in the North would never say we want to leave this country”.

“If you examine the situation, you would find out it is only in Northern Nigeria that there is no agitation for the breakup of this country”.

“That is why we are the root of this country. If the root is uprooted, the tree will not be there.

We like to encourage Nigerians to love their country to be united and tolerate one another. So that we can build a kind of country we like to build.” 

Northerners should exercise patience in building the unity of the country, as they are the root of Nigeria’s unity.

It is Northern Nigeria that doesn’t have any specific plan of its own, in case Nigeria is divided. This means we have absolute confidence that being together is the best thing for all of us.”

Our responsibility is to exercise patience to make sure we guide this country to the kind of unity and progress we need to develop into a better country and even become a nation-state”.
