Biafra, Oduduwa Republics: Tinubu speaks on Nigeria ‘breaking up’

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said Nigeria will not break up despite calls for secessions.

Speaking at a special Ramadan prayer on Sunday, the former governor warned that Nigeria cannot risk secession and another civil war.

He stressed that the country was better as a united entity, adding that Nigeria was yet to recover from the Biafra civil war.

Tinubu said: “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 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.”
